A Free DIY from Stitch Lab The folks at Stitch Lab Blog show us how to sew a recessed zipper into a basic tote bag, turning it into a fantastic shopping bag or weekly errand tote. We usually add a zippered closure to the top of a bag to keep belongings secure inside, going without the risk of having everything tumble out if the bag tips over. A zippered main/top closure is a good idea when you have a bag without enough body and sturdiness to hold itself straight and tall. Go

zippered bag justice.  It is so well put together, and just so “happy”!  Sarah of My Spare Time wrote and published a fantastic sewing tutorial demonstrating how she created this quilted tote bag and installed a recessed zipper.  Click over to Sarah’s blog to learn how to do it too!
