I really enjoy following tutorials on the internet, and finding new ideas to try. When I found this box bag tutorial , I decided to give my new zipper prowess a try.
Well, the lovely bag you see pictured here took a really really long time to make!
The zipper is hidden between the lining and the outer material, and the instructions left me a bit confused on this, and I had to rip it out twice.
Another error I made was in making it really long. I misunderstood which side of the rectangle of fabric I needed to put the zipper on, so I ended up with a rectangle more than a box.
I also had to re-read the directions on how to make the ends a few times. I am happy with their box-ness, though.
I liked how the handle went into the bag, but had to re-stitch it twice as well. I had originally followed the tutorial and made it twice as wide as needed.
This LONG exercise taught me that I should make sure and read to the end of the instructions and make it in my head before deciding to do the project.
