This tutorial is the most detailed one I have EVER seen! Thank You so much! I’ve seen many other tutorials for zippers, but this beats every one of them! I’m gonna try this very soon and tell you how it goes!

Also, since you visit Africa, you should consider http://www.goods4girls.org/! An organization that sends cloth menstrual pads to young women, so they can go to school. They are reused over and over, reducing dependency on disposable menstrual products

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I really needed this. I tried a small tote once and thought it would be easy but it wasn’t!!!! And I haven’t even finished it…. This looks easy enough. I plan to try it as soon as I get the chance.

Hi! Thanks for the great tutorial!! I made some zippered things for Christmas this year so it was so helpful. I love your tags! Do you mind if I ask where you got them from? I would really like to get some to sew inside my handmade gifts.

[...] Now, this little thing took me WAY too long. I was even using different tutorials to try and figure out the best way to make it. I started off using this tutorial, but then didn’t like the way the zipper was inserted. I found this one which seemed better, but found out later that it wasn’t specific enough for my sewing ability. (Although, I have to add that the little 1″ tabs sewn to zipper before sewing it onto your bag is a MUST. It helps to minimize any gaps at either end of your zipper. No other tutorial had this step so I’m really glad I saw the suggestion in this one.) In the end, I liked this one the best for it’s step-by-step instructions and loads of pictures. [...]
