I tried something different today. I saw Loralye's vinyl zip case so I thought I'd use some I had and combine it with fabric. I only embroidered the butterflies .everything else was done on my regular sewing machine, even putting in the zipper. My top stitching needs some work but I was pleased with a first try. I had the mindset that I had to do zippers in the hoop. Using my sewing machine opens up many more creative possibilities. And it wasn't even hard to do

My embroidery machine is a convertible sewing machine/embroidering machine, and now that it's in the shop I am having both embroidery withdrawal and sewing withdrawal! Zippers are so easy ITH, but they're not too bad on the sewing machine. Your bag looks great.

My poor butterflies aren't centered, I was too focused on everything else. Next one I will pay more attention
I commiserate on the no-machine issue. I am fortunate enough to have a 1952 straight stitch only Elna and a 1963 Elna that has cams for all sorts of machine stitches (and I have a lot of those), both of them in very good working order. Just had the 1952 one serviced and my maintenance guy was lyrical about its condition.

How creative. Looks great and a wonderful idea. I have found that I prefer to put in my zips on the regular machine.

Cute bag. Zippers aren't as scary as some people think. I was putting zippers in with a regular sewing machine long before I did any in the hoop.

I have found that out, I even used some of my metal zips with no problems

It looks very pretty! I prefer making bags on the sewing machine, have been doing that for 60+ years and ITH has its restrictions. I do love to add machine embroidery.

This is lovely! Funny how much we fear zippers no matter how we but them in! Took me forever to get up enough nerve to try an ITH zip case. And then I wondered what took me so long to give it a go!
