Your bags turned out very nice. I have made a couple of these, too! The first one went together really easy but the second one dealt me misery for some reason. I ripped and swore and ripped some more. I just was not seeing the directions right I guess. Finally did get it done though. The zipper does go in so nice when you do it just the way they say. I am sure I will make another one or two soon. And hopefully they will turn out as nice as yours and go together as easy as the first one did for me.
