I've never known quite what to do with them it never clicked to just remove the stupid things! So obvious now! Thanks for the tutorial, and the suggestions at the end too... I love containers. And bags.

I'm so...THANK YOU all for the awesome comments! I'm so glad you all could make sense of my rambling ;)<br /><br /> I can't reply to individual comments (that I know of) but to answer a few questions:<br /><br />zipper size: I usually use a zipper 2" longer than my cut fabric. So 7" fabric length = 9" zipper. 10" fabric length = 12" zipper. I've also used a longer zipper if I come across them on the cheap, you can just cut them down, just be sure to slide the zipper to the middle first. ;)<br /><br />Fabric - two pieces of your outer fabric and lining (so you're working with 4 pieces of fabric, plus 2 pieces of interfacing if you use it) I've found for most sizes I make, you can just get two fat quarters (an outer pattern, and liner pattern) <br /><br />If you have a finished bag, email me a photo cuppscraps @ gmail.com and I'll post it :)~*Sarah*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08876619627211367786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841262755306691355.post-31525206716483181452012-07-08T16:59:40.430-05:002012-07-08T16:59:40.430-05:00Great tutorial!

Particularly when people who sew aren't "lazy", and it's pretty presumptuous to assume others are "slobs" just because you are.<br /><br />I'm equally surprised at how many people will eat up the arrogant insulting attitude and even thank you for it!<br /><br />I guess that's why this country is failing - 'cause The People don't even know when they're being abused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841262755306691355.post-45232949153131515062012-01-29T00:19:25.460-06:002012-01-29T00:19:25.460-06:00I know this post is a few years old, but I just wa...I know this post is a few years old, but I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for posting it!<br /><br />I just made myself a little makeup bag (minus the tabs on the side- I'm not that fancy yet!) and I love it. :) <br /><br />Thank you for the clear pictures and explanations- I especially got a kick out of the bent needle.

It's much the best way to teach!<br /><br />And that needle - that's a real achievement.
