How to Put a Zipper into a Bag?

Hi all, has anyone come across, or be willing to write, a good tutorial on how to make a bag with a zipper in the top? I've been making a lot of bags lately, and I would love to take them to the next step with a zipper, but I don't know how.

Help?

  1. I'll send a link in an email to you since URLS in a comment section take up so much room.

    One main thing I advise is to insert the zipper before pieces are assembled. It's nearly impossible to sew them in after the bag is constructed.

  4. Oh those are cute little zippered bags! I think I could definitely do this - I even have a theory as to how I could work that into the purse pattern I currently use... hmmmm
