Zipped purses. When I posted a couple of pencil cases, there were some suggestions of alternative uses. (eg crochet hooks and make-up brushes.) This gave me the idea of making "portrait" orientation purses with an oblique zip (to give a wider opening than a horizontal one). These are the result.

Looking forward to a link to a pattern. This looks really useful! Thanks...

Really good idea Sue. I love them.
Hugs Pam.

I like the rounded ends. They look great.

fantastic! these will be very useful. thanks for showing..marian

Another great bag. I love the zipper this way!

great job

I put my pruning secretaire's in one so that its kept clean and away from those who don't know how to use them; this orientation would be perfect for that, can you give me the link for it please!

Another great design Sue

great project

These are great!! I've made small bags like this in the past (with the diagonal zip), but just by regular sewing. It would be wonderful, and much easier, to make them all ITH. Very well done!!!

Ith, but two hoopings. (First one to quilt the back.)

They are very nice.

Some of us would never give suggestions. lol Love them. Like the shape.

These are great!

I really like these Sue. Very classy looking. They just need a fancy something or other for a zipper pull now. May e a cluster of beads. Hugs, Susan

I thought the same. Unfortunately the chocolate zip has the kind of pull without a hole.

Such ingenuity!

Way to go Sue another hit hugs carolyn
