There's a store called Zipperstop.com that may have them. They sell in bulk. If you don't see it on their website, you can always call them. You could also order a quantity of short zippers from them and not have to cut.

I found the package of Atkinson pulls fit well with the coats and Clark and zippers I bought from Vogue.com. I made 22 Suzys sacks this year. It was a great way to use up my excess fat quarters.

I have discovered that you can buy bundles of multicolored zippers, in size groups on Amazon for next to nothing, so that is what I buy for making bags. Lots of colors so I can always find a matching or contrasting zipper for each project. I usually order 7", 12", and 18" sizes and trim to fit.

You could also check out Zipit listed on Esty. They do sell in bulk but it is reasonably sized and priced.

A key piece of information on these bags is that you end up using only one of the "tracks" of the zipper per bag. So buying a shorter zipper is not the issue -- it's having enough pulls. So with 2 10 inch squares and 1 zipper, you end up with 2 bags-- but you need an additional zipper pull.

It's far more fun to mix and match colors so that the zipper and pull are additional design elements for the bag, but I did find I had a length of beige "zipper by the yard" with a bunch of pulls that are working with my coats and clark zipper-- but they don't work with the YKKs.

Who knew that basic zipper could be so finicky?

And amusing moment -- my sister and I ended up exchanging peapod bags for Christmas in addition to wearing the same shirt (from Costco). At least with the bags we showed individuality in fabric choices.

My sister and I might show up wearing the same thing too but I'm safe when it comes to sewing because she doesn't sew.

I didn't give you enough info on Zipit. Here's a bit more, You can buy a pkg of 25 multi colored pulls for 7.00 and an assortment of zippers for different prices. 10 22'' zippers, multi-colored, for 8.50. I put 22'' zippers in their search box. https://www.etsy.com/shop/zipit Hope this is helpful. Such cute bags!

great little bags, can you show us yours!?

I've given away 16 of them, without taking photos! Usually I remember to photo-document, but this year I was not terribly organized in my crafting. I'll make a few more batches and show them off. The pea pods are my new favorites-- perfect size for so many things-- dog treats, change, ear buds, phone charger, sewing supplies -- really versatile.

I've checked out the sites suggested, so thank you all for your input.
