I have feared a zipper for far too long. I came across this lovely little tutorial and thought, “I think I can do that!” If you too suffer from “zipper fear” fear no more. Follow her steps and you’ll have yourself a little zipper bag in no time flat! This little one was whipped up just in time to wrap it up for my sister-in-law’s birthday gathering last night.

I only wish my first try’s turned out half as cute as Darbys! Thanks Darby- it really is great!! Can you make matching luggage? Ha- just kidding!
