I Fell in Love with Zippers in 2015 + a Giveaway!

I like zippers & I have for a while. Last year, I fell in LOVE with zippers.



Here are some of the things I made and what I use them for:

----

The Sweet Pea Pod by Lazy Girl Designs is a new favorite of mine! It uses Joan Hawley's "One-Zip" technique and I became obsessed with changing the color of my zipper pulls! I'll warn you that they are addictive & I've made over 20 of them!




Sweet Pea Pods are great for holding all sorts of things. Wonder clips, charging cables, chocolate, Chapstick & more!


----


Fobio by Lazy Girl Designs is another fun pattern. These key fobs are quick to whip up. Picking the zipper pull colors took me longer than any other step!


----


Becca Bags by Lazy Girl Designs also quickly became a new favorite of mine. I've made over 20 of these as well! The 6 shown here match my Arcade Game quilt.

They make great gifts. I made this one for husband.


The pattern has 2 sizes & the small one makes a great wristlet when paired with a Fobio Key Fob.



----


I had been eyeing up the Sew Together Bag by Sew Demented for a while, and once I started making them, I found all kinds of great uses for them.

Currently I am using it to hold all of my binding supplies. The 3 small zipper pockets contain my scissors, needles & safety pins. The larger pockets hold my Wonder Clips and thread.


I recommend that you follow the Sew Together Bag Sew-A-Long that was posted on Quilt Barn since the pattern does not contain photos.



----



I use a large Strip Zip to keep cash handy in my bag. It is the perfect size to keep bills without folding them.

I've also made one Twin Zip

It is basically 2 Strip Zips sewn together.

I use it when I travel. I keep cash in the one side and my receipts in the other.

I use one of the smaller strip zips for my iPad charger.


----


Bridget's Bagettes by Atkinson Designs - I have a bunch of these and use them for all kinds of things. It is SUPER handy how the front is clear so I can easily keep track of what tools are where.

I also made one with Ripstop Nylon as the lining. This way it is easy to clean when I use it for makeup brush storage on the go.


----



This fun project can hold a bunch of my notions + rulers. I use it when teaching a class or heading to a sewing retreat.


----


These little guys are a great way to use up scraps. 

This one holds my tissues!



----



I use it to hold my EPP projects + my Tula Pink Thread Cases (Pattern adapted from APFE bag)


---

Power Trip by Patterns by Annie

I made this as a holiday gift for my brother. It took 10+ hours and wasn't the most cooperative with my machine. There are some steps where you are sewing through multiple layers of foam and it took some trial & error to get my machine to do what was needed.

I followed Leslie's advice and flipped the pocket orientation.


----



I made this for my husband to match his Marvel Becca Bag above.



----


I had found myself sewing quite a few zipper projects early in the year, and then I took Joan Hawley's Zip It Up! Craftsy class and my zipper project interest quickly became an obsession that took hold for the rest of year. Especially for handmade holiday gifts! I made these projects while I took Joan's class:


The Runaround Bag by Lazy Girl Designs is perfect for holding my passport, my phone & some cash when I'm at the airport.


Nikita holds all of my chargers, cables & cords.


Bendy by Lazy Girl Designs can be used for so many things! I love this pattern so much that I've made 10 of them!


Bendy works great to hold our snacks when traveling.



I lined a few of them with rip-stop nylon so that if any snacks spill... I'll have easy clean up! And I used up my brown zippers a lot faster than I had anticipated!


----


I had so much fun making my Bendy snack bags that I went through my stash to find my Hershey's Miniatures fabric to make a Bendy & a Sweetpea just for toting Miniatures when I travel!

My Bendy Bag will be used to hold cords and chargers when I travel.

Cheryl Hammond said...

I would love to make bendy bags for my daughters. They are too cute!!!

Nanette said...

So much inspiration here!

I'd use my Bendy bag to store cross-stitch and embroidery supplies!

twodraftmom said...

I love the snack bag idea. These are so cute!

Candace said...

I got over my fear of zippers over the past year. I have made a few zippered pouches, but I am still timid about trying different patterns than the one I have done a bunch of times. I would love to branch out and try the bendy bag! I'd make it for a friend that is having surgery soon to cheer her up!
candace2robinson@gmail.com

Sharon - IN said...

You really did fall in love with zippers in 2015! If I won your Bendy bundle, I'd make bags for the girls in my life. I really like your striped version, so once I learn how to put one together, I'd try some striped ones too.

Cathy said...

I need a bag to hold my charger cords when traveling and Bendy looks perfect! By the way, I made the ipad case too and love it. Professional looking results and not difficult.

Almaelou said...

I would gift it to all those special people in my life that I just don't know well enough to buy something very personal but still want to say thanks like: babysitters, co-workers, mailman, church office worker, librarians. I would fill them up with something yummy too like candy or nail polish.

It would be super if I won too because my new year's resolution was NO MORE PATTERNS, but if I won it that would be ok…lol

Unknown said...

I love these. I will make for my family members..

Terry said...

I plan to use the Bendy Bag to carry my sewing machine foot pedal and cord to class

Ben said...

I'd make one for my daughter.

Janine said...

I'd love to try and make a Bendy bag. Zippers scare me, but I'm willing to try. I'd make it for my daughter to keep her pet's meds organized.

my2cents said...

I would make one for each of my boys to keep up with their superheroes! (eacox24@gmail.com)

tac73 said...

Love your snack bags. I would love to make some Bendy bags as gifts for my children and grandchildren.

April said...

I have fallen in love with zippers too, but not quite to your level yet. The Sew Together Bag was surprisingly easy. I made one to test, which is mine and then made one for my mother, and she hates zippers, so she was impressed. I'd have to give a Bendy bag to my girls. I'm working with them on getting organized, so hopefully they will help!

An Askew View said...

Love all your zip projects! I have made many but give them away. Time to make more sweetpeas and keep for all the purposes you use them for (reckon I'm being a copycat but please consider it a compliment!).

ME said...

A bendy would work great for bringing along my EPP projects!

Nicole Vieira said...

I would love to make these cute bags. I would most likely use them for either storing quilting supplies or knitting projects.

Tara S said...

I can see using this to hold my work cables - as a software consultant, I'm always on the go with my laptop, and I hate storing my laptop cable and my mouse in the big briefcase bag section, always gets lost. This would be perfect!

Melody A. said...

What a clever bag, and you definitely were prolific in using your zippers!! it will be fun to make! Happy New Year!

Lauren said...

These would be great for my kids to pack some toys to take in the car/to church!

RCWfamily said...

I will use this bag when I travel for chargers...with that said, the kid always finds a reason she NEEDS any bag I make! cwhelan at williamwoods . edu

Ellyn said...

fun! I think my college girl would be the lucky recipient of mine! thanks for the chance

babiesdoc said...

after reading this post, It is obvious I am in dire need of many zip bags
thank you for a new obsession

audrey said...

Eep! Zippers are the best! So many pretties!

Laurie said...

I will use my bendy for holding my power cords while traveling! soccerljg4@yahoo.com

Rebecca said...

I would use the prize to get past my fear of zippering!!! (as in putting in a zipper)

PugMom said...

Hi Julie. Thanks for the give-away. I want you to know that I bought the pattern for the little zipper bag and the lanyard based on your blog. If I win, I would keep all my doggy supplies in the bag for when I walk my beautiful Pug Pack (Romeo, age 14, Elvis, age 13 and LarryPug, age 6). Pugs and kisses,
Nancy

Rachel said...

Bendy bags look like they'd be the perfect size to stash my youngest son's medications and tube feeding supplies for a quick outing, so that's probably what I'd make. And I'll have to use some squirrel themed fabrics, since that's his current obsession.

Sharlene said...

Love these Bendy Bags! I'd absolutely use one for my small knitting projects while on the go so I always have something to do with my hands if I'm stuck waiting anywhere. Thanks for the giveaway.

Lynda said...

with two daughters and two granddaughters and a few friends who travel a lot, I know that I could put this pattern to good use!

Boyesfamily5 said...

I would make a bag for my 21 year old that is away at college. She would love it. ;)

Unknown said...

What great bags!
I think I'd follow your example and use it for snacks when out with my boys
(jodie@tawn.co.uk)

kitty crafter said...

What a versatile pattern! I would love to make one for each of my kids so they can store their chargers and keep them separate. They're always fighting over who lost theirs, so now they might be able to keep better track of them. I'd like to make some for myself too. jenlat@yahoo.com

Diane said...

I'm going on a retreat in February and we are having a bag swap. It would be great to have everything I need to make the bag for the swap! Thanks for the giveaway.

Lisa England said...

Wow, what a lot of great bags and pouches! I would like to make a bendy bag for my sister. Actually, one for each sister.

Ann B said...

Perfect for our upcoming cousin's reunion!

Joanne M. said...

Would love this giveaway! My quilt girlfriends would get these for birthday gifts. wHo couldnt use a a cute little bag?
gogojojo.moore@gmail.com

BrendaM said...

I loved seeing all the bags that you have made and am even more inspired to get on with the ones that I have planned

Cynthia Brunz Designs said...

That little bag will be perfect for keeping my cords and chargers all together. Thanks!

Bees Knees Granny said...

I'd like to give bendy bags to three gals I taught to quilt, when we get together every few months...but that first one will be for myself. They make me smile. Keep on quiltin'. Cwoosley12@yahoo.com

Michelle said...

Oh man. You have so many awesome projects here! I better go stock up on zippers.

I would make the Bendy Bag for myself. Well to make it easy to tote around snacks for my kids! I'm sure I could find plenty of uses for it and people to gift it to. :)

ferne said...

I love making bags and your ideas for using them just made me think I could really use a whole lot more of them to keep organized!

Stephanie said...

Well 1st thing that comes to mind is thread for traveling to retreats. I have retreats on the brain right now! I love the post with all the bags! Saving for later!!! Thanks so much

Nancy said...

I love the idea of lining them with rip cord for snacks. I could see myself making one for each of the 8 grandkids, then my daughters and myself. I love all the bags shown. Have you found somewhere to buy good zippers inexpensively? I need more zippers. I need more bags!

yarnivorous said...

What do you mean what will I use my Bendy bag for? It sounds like I won't stop at just one, if I win!
I'd use them for carrying various notions, for my other hobby (knitting, for gifts and swaps....
Goodness you were busy making baggies!

Lee said...

I would love to make one for my daughter! She has been wanting some little bags or pouches! thank you!!

Lesley said...

I've been wanting to try this pattern! I would make it for my daughter to store her EOS lip balms. Why does she need 10?!
lesley209 at gmail

Laura said...

Like a few others, I need something to hold my cords and chargers.

Judy Dietrich said...

I love zippers too!! They are so versatile in sewing. Love the Hershey colors. I would make a superhero bendy bag for my son. He would love those colors!!

MaryAnn said...

Wow, you have made some amazing things. I love your color selections. I would use the bendy bag when I travel. Clearly I need to buy zippers!

Jessim said...

Wow! That is a lot of bags. Do you have a source for inexpensive zippers?

I probably wouldn't make a bendy bag (though I marked a few of the other patterns to buy!) so if you draw me, pick someone else- but I'd love to know where you get your zippers.

jaellede said...

I would love to use it to hold my stitching supplies when traveling :-) Thank you for the giveaway, alls your bags are beautiful!

craftd1 said...

When I win you can reach me at craftd1@aol.com. I want to make the Bendy Bag for gifts for my family and friends.

Lisa Boyer said...

I would use the bag to put my binding clips in, as shown in the picture. My second bag would contain hair clips for travelling. I could also see making one each for jewelry sets, and several for small gift wrapping, especially small thread sets. I could go on all day!

Denise in PA said...

I'd love to make a Bendy Bag! I'd use it to keep my EEP supplies in for the new Glorious Hexagons project! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

Alexis said...

Two of my sisters' birthdays are in February... I'd love to make both of them a set of cute bags for storage/travel/anything! Thanks!!!

Unknown said...

I would make the bag for my granddaughter to hold her misc items while traveling as she will be studying next semister in Austria. Of course she will need more than one bag.

karenf said...

I'm going to have to take the Craftsy Class. I can't figure out how the sweetpea and key chain zip, since the zipper seems to make a loop.

Sewnuts said...

I would love a bundle of zippers as have ordered the "Sweet pea pod" pattern - they look so cute and useful! I already have a "Bendy bag" pattern and want to make more of those too - I love the one I made for digital device accessories - cords, adapters, etc! They would make great little gifts full of any number of goodies also!

Lex said...

I love all the projects you did - found some I want to check out! I would probably make a bendy bag for myself to keep in my bag that I take to work for snacks and tea so they don't get lost in the bottom of my backpack

enigmatic_15 at yahoo dot com

Charlotte Key said...

These bendy bags look like great fun, I always love Joan's bag patterns.

Vanessa said...

Love love love the Bendy Bag and yep, Im hooked on Zippers too :-) Thank You!!!

Debora Exum said...

Thanks for the info about the Craftsy class. I have sewn a few zippers but still have zipper phobia. I would make Bendy bags for Valentine's Day gifts for my kids...filled with treats of course.

Anja @ Anja Quilts said...

Wow...that's a lot of bags. They are all great looking. The runaround bag is the only one I've made. I'll be checking out a few of the others.

Anita said...

I love your projects. I'm putting down the iPad and heading to my sewing room. Thank you for the inspiration.

Kathryn said...

I have a 2 year old granddaughter who has lots of things to keep track of. Better in a bag than on the floor!

Robin said...

Wow! I am so afraid of zippers but your projects are simply adorable. I am going to bookmark this and try to make at least one item with a zipper in it. If I can make a quilt I can surely put a zipper in something. Zippers bring me back to trying to make a pair of pants in high school home economics class. My pants were horrible!

KarenOjai said...

Julie, I love your style! I've been following you since your first Hexie quilt along! I love to make bags also, and I'd probably make this one for all my goodies, when I go to classes, or retreats.

Unknown said...

I 'd use the Bendy Bag for my Aplique supplies.

Rita Lynn said...

I would use it my purse for small items. What cute bags.

Unknown said...

deedee said...

What an inspiration you are with your wonderful collection of Lazy Girl bags. Thank you.
Although the Runaround bag and Sassy are my favorites, I want to make the Twin bag for travel and quick runs to the store.

Terry said...

My daughters and girlfriends all love the totes and zip bags I make for them, so they'd be getting these as gifts (and for sure I'd make one for me as well). Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

It would hold my jewelry. I have never sewn anything requiring zippers before; so, this would be a new thing for me to do.

Unknown said...

I savored every word of this post! About 3 or 4 months ago I also became obsessed with zippers and made 2 dozen zipper holiday gifts! loves these new patterns to try. I think I might use my bendy mag as a little first aid kit for my car...I have a toddler and often need salve, band-aids, tissues, antibactrial spray etc when I am on the go. I keep meaning to make a little pouch for myself but often give away even the ones I make for myself!

Julie! Do you have a Gravity phone case? Way cool! I've been smitten with your Bendy Bags since you made some last summer in your Kona colllection colors--and now another giveaway!! I'd keep the first Bendy bags I'd make for myself for a little sewing kit, a travel case for my camera, extra battery and cord and I guess I'd have to make some snack bags (your fabric choices are crazy cute for snacks). Then I'd stop being selfish and make lots of bags on your post for everyone I love.

I love the bendy bag, I want one for my power cords when I travel. I find I've had a bit of a bag obsession since 2014 and I discovered Soft 'n Stable. I've also made the Zip Bags from Atkinson, I made 12-15 a couple years ago for Xmas gifts for sisters-in-laws, nieces and friends, so quick and fun!

I really enjoyed this post. The fobio is sooo cute, as is the Bendy bag.

I'd use my Bendy Bag to store thread I do believe.

I love your patterns and rulers. Keep up the good work.

Janna said...

I'm tossed on whether I would keep it or give it to my daughter.

Maureen said...

I want to make some of these bags for my daughter, she is newly pregnant and can use them in the diaper bag!

Barb said...

I would either keep it or give it to one of my daughters. Someone would get good use out of it, for sure! Thanks for the giveaway.

Hi Julie! If I win I would make a snack bag for my grandson. He would LOVEit!

Patch said...

This bag is so very appealing. I would love to make them for gifts, especially for my granddaughters, who love your colours. I'd make at least one for myself, too, to carry medicines when I travel. Perfect size.

karen said...

I'm making a bag to hold my medical inhalers, as well as info in an emergency.

Jennifer Sobieralski said...

My bendy bag would be a good bag for traveling and carrying all sorts of things. Probably charge cords since those get forgotten or misplaced.

Nana Jo said...

Wow! I am tired just seeing all of your projects. I would make a bag to organize some of my quilting supplies for taking to retreats. We are now snowbirds so I need ways to organize what I bring with me to keep sewing while we are away.

SQ Price said...

Wow! Have you ever been a busy girl! These are all so very cute! Would love to win and thanks for the giveaway. Would use them for a zillion things! Mind reeling.... saqprice at yahoo dot com

I love all these bags!! Have always been intimidated by zippers, but you make it hard not to be inspired! I would love to make a Bendy Bag for myself to hold some sewing notions or colored pencils to use with my adult coloring books. I would also like to make one for my oversize phone that I always seem to manage to drop. It doesn't really fit in a pocket and I don't like to carry a big purse. The Bendy Bag would be perfect for me!

Holy Cow -- you went zipper crazy last year! Beautiful projects. Thanks for sharing them. I would use my Bendy Bag for sewing notions for certain, probably for my Alphabitties and an extra box of pins.

I'd make one for my daughter.....love the concept....

Jayne said...

So many cute bags... so many new ones for pinterest! I would make a bendy bag for me! I don't know what I would put it in, I'd have to make it first...I know I could come up with something, easily!!

Joellyn P. said...

I so love every bag you talked about and have a few of the patterns, but not the bendy bag. I'd love to make it to store my hand applique or hand quilting supplies in for when I go stitch somewhere with friends or for travel. Thanks for showing them all to us, now I can't wait to make some of my own

Bec said...

It will be the perfect gift to make up to have on hand!

Kathryn Errante said...

I absolutely love all your bags! I would like to try making one, and use it for snacks when traveling.

I think I'll have to make several Bendy bags - 1 for charger cords, 1 for chocolate, several gifts. . . . Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Laura said...

These are all so awesome, so colorful and fun! I would use my Bindy Bag to hold treats for my cat and to use for storing my quilting safety pins.

Kathy said...

Love these bags you've shared. If I win, I'll consider it a birthday present as my bday is the 19th!

I love zip bags. I have made some of the ones you posted and was glad to see some other ones that I have not tried yet. I would make them for my kids so they can get more organized.

Unknown said...

What a fun giveaway, thank you. I'd make the body for my daughter. She has a huge purse, and everything is tossed in. It's a perfect solution.

Unknown said...

Love all your little bags, I have become a big fan of zippers since you started posting pictures !!my birthday is very soon I might gift myself!😊

Linda Nelson said...

I love all of your bags...I just keep staring at them all! The bendy bags are so cute...I think I'd have to finally organize my life if I made some...catch all of the odds and ends in the bottom of my backpack!

All your bags are awesome! I'd love to make one for my EPP project. I'd be like you and make more than one. I'd need another for my phone charger and cords for when I'm traveling as well.

Thanks for a chance to win!

This is a fantastic post. I love little bags and will probably go crazy like you did.

The bendy bag would be great to make for my grand daughter. Contact ehsquilts@gmail.com

ITTS said...

I will gift it to myself, as I haven't done any selfish sewing in a while! I would use it to keep all my tech stuff together- the earbuds and chargers and extra batteries, etc.

GloriaDog said...

Very inspiring. I'd use it for storing my shop hop must haves - cash, credit card, tissues, yardage needs and chocolate snacks. Thanks.

Cheri said...



Such inspiration! I would make one for each of my 9 grandchildren reflecting their current interest. What fun.

pattymay said...

I would make for my Granddaughter.

Unknown said...

I would make a snack set for on the go with my three kiddos and also a set to hold my wonder clips and sewing supplies when I'm traveling. :)

Marsha said...

Since I'm traveling this weekend, I think the Bendy Bag for chargers is a great idea. I make lots of bags, just made three What Cha Got bags for Jan. Birthday gifts. Bendy would be a great add on.

Unknown said...

Love them all! Definitely would use for charging cords or binding kit. I love all the ways you used it/them...I'd have to keep making!

Vjquilter said...

I would use my cute Bendy Bag to hold all of the notions that I need to keep handy for English Paper Piecing. Thank you for the giveaway!
