Sew Together Bag SAL // Week 5: Finishing It Up! (last zipper + bindings)

Ok - Technically I should have waited a week for this, but I just couldn't help myself!  We need to get these cute Sew Together bags finished! 

Which is exactly what we're going to do today:  

- final zipper
- binding
- zipper tabs


Attaching the last zipper + bindings:


Final Step: Zipper Tabs!
One thing to mention: if you're using a Long Pull zipper like I am here (long pull zipper = wider), you will need to make your tabs a bit bigger.  Cut (2) 2"x6".





And just like that, you have a finished Sew Together Bag!  Please be sure to tag me when you post photos of your bags - seeing your progress (and your joy in the journey) is often the highlight of my day!
