Follow along with this simple step by step tutorial to make your very own, the whole process only takes about 1 hour

Sewing Kit: Snips, Thread, Fabric Scissors, Seam Ripper, Ball Pins,

Sewing Machine: Normal Presser Foot, Zipper Presser Foot

Zipper, 6 to 10 inches.

Iron and Ironing Board

Sewing Needle

Fabric 1/2 yard

Lining 1/2 yard (choose a bright color!)

Tape Measure

Step 1:To create the pattern, the bag can be any size you like. Determine the height and width and then add extra for the bottom. Draw squares in the corners on the side that will be the bottom of the bag. I made my squares 2" x 2". These squares form the boxed bottom and the part between them will be the bottom of the bag.

Step 2:Cut out the squares on each corner. You should now have your finished pattern piece.

Step 3:Lay the pattern on the outer fabric and pin in place. I recommend a medium weight cotton or linen canvas for the outer and a quilt weight for the lining. Cut the fabric out, remove the pattern and repeat on the lining and interfacing.

Step 4:You should now have two pieces of outer fabric, two pieces of lining and two pieces of interfacing.

Step 5:Fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of the outer fabric by following the manufacturer's guidelines

Step 6:Place your zipper wrong side down on top of the lining. Line up the length of the zipper tape with the cut upper edge of the fabric. I prefer to use a zipper that is too long so the pull is out of the way of the sewing area.

Step 7:Place one outer layer on top of the lining and pin in place along the zipper. The outer fabric and the lining should be perfectly in line with each other and both should be flush with the zipper tape.

Step 8:Sew the lining and outer fabric to the zipper. I chose to sew mine with a very small seam allowance because I wanted to see my zipper tape since it is a decorative zipper. You can sew as close as you prefer to the zipper teeth, depending on how much of the tape you prefer to see in the end.
