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.

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.

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!!!

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!
