Be sure to check out Megan's blog for some more craftiness after reading this awesome tutorial!
I adore my Sharpies. I use Sharpies in my studio. I use Sharpie pens at work. Since I can't get enough of Sharpies I decided to make a bag to contain them all.
I used a lightbox to trace my drawings onto the fabric (printables below).
I filled the back of the bag with random doodles. I used this book for ideas.

Sharpie bag alternate back printable (give as a gift filled with Sharpies and let the recipient doodle their own design)
I've never put a zipper in a bag before in my life, I followed this tutorial. It worked out OK. I still need to perfect more square corners on the zipper side. I bought three zippers for this project and only went through two, so that's pretty good in my book. My bag measurements are 8.5 inches by five inches.
Now my Sharpies have the beautiful bag they deserve!
so cute! really like that idea!

ReplyDeleteThis couldn't have come at a better time because I'm just considering how to add bags to my line of products! Thank you! I'm going to check out the zipper tutorial because I've never sewn a zipper before either!
