Has anyone figured out an 'easy' way to add a zipper on top in place of the button. I am a little perplexed because of the 'tuck' on each end, which of course I want to keep, so zipper would have to be added in between.....any one have any brillent ideas on this one..... I so much prefer a zipper in todays world you can not take too much caution to protect your stuff.......How about velcro, has any one tried that.....

never made the tote, but, you would need to have the zipper extend on both ends for the tote to open fully. Say maybe extend about 3 inches on each end.

Or, use a separating zipper, then you don't have to be concerned about the tie ends.

Now that is a thought I did not consider.....

But you have to be careful not to unzip all the way...
I use a zipper that unzips in both directions with two pulls..works nice

.......
I have a roll of 'make your own zipper' so I can add two pull heads with ease....good thought .....
