What was your inspiration?

I love little bags but didn't like the traditional technique for putting in zippers. So when my friend sent me directions for putting in a zippered pocket, I changed them slightly for a bag.

What are you most proud of?

That I can crank one of these out in about 25 minutes! Once you figure out the technique, it's really fairly simple. Although, my first one was a disaster!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Buy a bunch of zippers (I love zipperstop on eBay) and practice.
