Zippy bag

[Meanqueen]

This is my latest bag, made out of fourteen zips I got from the Scrapstore. It is quite small, 18cm x 13cm, so it's more like an evening bag. I was limited by the colours I have, and the metal zips make it quite heavy, but it is all hand stitched. The handle has a leather stiffener inside it and is covered with the same fabric as the lining, from a dress I got for 20p at a car boot sale. I am going to put a simple press stud on the inside to fasten it, as inserting another zip along the top would make it too bulky.

That is cool. Put in your own designer label and sell it on e-bay for £500. 00!

That's very good Ilona

We thought of you yesterday when we were browsing in the shop at the Eden Project - they had some bags made out of ring pulls - £65 also lots of items (bags / aprons etc) made from plastic juice cartons. These were priced from £15 upwards.

Sure your stuff is as good or better and all unique
