I just uploaded the rewritten tutorial on the Nine Patch Totebag with Recessed Zipper as promised, albeit just a little late. Here is the second bag I made for picture taking purposes for the tutorial.
Halfway through the process I decided I wanted my bag to be shorter than the nine patch, so I grabbed my rotary cutter and zip! That top row came right off. 🙂 This is a great size, and I really love it.
Especially this pop of green as the lining. And polka dots! Who doesn’t love polka dots??
If you decide to make your own bag using my tutorial I would love to see what you make. Let me know if you have any questions – I’ll be happy to help!
Linking up this week with Lorna for Let’s Bee Social and Myra for Finished or Not Friday. I’m so happy to link up with these girls – it’s been a long time!
Beth, this bag is adorable! You know I’m bag making challenged, right? But it’s so cute I just might have to give it a try 🙂
This is a great tutorial Beth. I want to try a bag with a recessed zipper. Thanks so much. I will give it a try and then do a post on it to share. I appreciate it!
Adorable ! I’ll pin it, I’m sure I will make it one day ! Thx !
So what are the overall dimensions of this shorter version then. It is so adorable!!
I love bags, and this one is a cutie! I love the fabrics!
