Camo Tote First zipper
#1
Well, I did my first zipper. Wow. I definitely needed to do one for me first. it isn't perfectly installed, but i think I have it down for next time.
I started with the bow tuck pattern. Changed the size took off the ties on sides and got rid of the button to ad a zipper.
I showed a friend and now her mom wants me to make 2. I told her to let me get the zipper down pat and then I can.
I used this tutorial AFTER I tried on my own and failed pretty bad. Easiest tut I found.

not exactly what i wanted at first, but I really like it now.

I made totes for my sister and now she's asking for a zipper. I'm afraid of it. This tute looks like something I could handle.

Thanks everyone. I realize camo is not everyones favorite pattern, but it is really popular in my area. I have orders for 2 more with zippers, 1 using original pattern, and another one not camo with origiinal pattern. Busy Busy busy.
If anyone else wants something made, let me know. I can't do 100's but I can get a 4 or 5 done in a week with work being slow right now.
