A friend recently gave me a shopping bag full of home dec samples. They turned out to be the perfect size for some small zippered bags. I had a small stash of thrift store zippers, and armed with some on-line tutorials, I made up a few bags.
I used some of these on-line tutorials: Jedi Craft Girl's My Favorite Zipper Pouch, The Sewing Loft's Zipper Tab Tutorial, and the Fat Quarter Shop's video tutorial on making a simple bag.
Since home dec fabrics are heavier than conventional fabrics, there's no need to add a batting or liner. The two layers of fabric create a substantial bag and it was fun to mix and match the fabrics.

So handy too! You can't have enough little zippered bags.
pretty and practical off to check out the tutorials now
Great idea! And very cute also.
Those little bags seem to be addictive for those who make them. You've created a great crop!
I've been making these, lately, but your home decor fabric idea is genius!!! Did you have any trouble with fringe along the cut edges?
