LindaS. said... Thanks for a great review. I'll be making some of these as gifts and will not even attempt the zipper according to directions. Yours makes so much more sense. Beautiful bag - what are the final dimensions? 11/22/04 8:48 AM
Mary Stiefer said... I think your idea to use this zipper makes much more sense for a lot of projects. Your bag looks wonderful (even after all the broken needles - hehehe). 11/22/04 9:10 AM

Susan M said... Absolutely beautiful! I've looked at that Threads several times and worried about the zipper. Thanks for a great solution. 11/22/04 10:29 AM
Oopsy-Daisy! said... I like your "wimp" zipper solution! I, too, feared making this bag when I read you had to remove the zipper pull. Now I think I will try this bag, too. Yours (and the others') are gorgeous! 11/22/04 11:37 AM
cindyann said... Well I can certainly understand your frustration with the zipper. It took me forever to get mine back on too. Your idea for a longer zip is by far less stressful. Your bag is very pretty! 11/22/04 12:22 PM

Gail S said... Love it! I wanted to try this but was discouraged by the pulling the zipper apart project. I did this once on another quick to make project and it was almost the death of me! It took me forever to get the zipper put back together and I invented several new swear words in the process. I am all for the longer zipper wimp method. Sign me up! I'm going to add this one to my got to do projects. 11/23/04 1:49 PM
