Love Story & Indie Folk Zipper Bags!

Love Story & Indie Folk Zip Pouches

Back in September I found this amazing deal for a bulk order of colorful 9" zippers. At the time I definitely didn't need a 120 zippers but I couldn't resist such a great buy. So, when it came time to begin making new items to offer in this year's holiday sale, zipper pouches were #1 on my list!

Zipper Rainbow & Love Story

Inspired by my recent Love Story & Indie Folk Friendship Braids quick quilt as you go quilt, I continued with the same very boho fabric combination to whip up a few dozen bags over the past few weeks, and I LOVE how they turned out!

The front side is the herringbone qayg pattern I teach in my Craftsy class and use so often in a variety of the projects I make from bags to pillows to full size quilts. It will forever be my go-to for pretty much everything! I love sewing using this technique and I love the scrappy style of this pattern, especially when using very thin strips of prints the way I did for these new zipper bags!

Each bag has a cushiony layer of cotton batting, a colorful zipper, denim side loop to add you own embellishments, a Love Story zipper pull and each bag is lined with my Wild & Free Woven Path quilting cotton for a really nice finish!

Each bag reverses to a striping of the same prints used for the bag fronts. I just can't get enough of this fabric combination. I think I'll make a few pillows next!

My Love Story & Indie Folk bags measure a little bigger than 8" x 8" finished and have a boxy bottom making them perfect for makeup, travel, art supplies, knitting & epp project, and more!

I first offered them on Friday on my Instagram in my Black Friday sale and just sold out today! A BIG thanks to everyone who purchased!

Next up I plan to offer a quilted stocking sale made using Amy Sinibaldi's holiday collection for Art Gallery Fabrics, Little Town. They are so sweet, I can't wait to photograph them today to share!

  4. Love these bags, Maureen! I signed up for your Craftsy class yesterday & am wondering if by learning the "strip method" u teach, will I be able to make these little bags? Is there maybe a pattern I could purchase? Thanks so much! Doreen Tavares

    1. Hi! These are a brand new item that I'm making to sell as a finished product, so I won't be offering a pattern soon. I hope these are an item folks will purchase from me!

  7. I love your little bags. I made a tote/purse in a similar manner and love it. I have to admit it started out as a quilt, but I was impatient so it became a bag..
