The top is 6-1/2" wide. I have a gross of 9" zippers so that is what I'm using so the metal doesn't get in the way of my stitching. But 7" would work. Not that I don't love JoAnns but zippers there are too much money. I buy them from Amazon. I buy from this store all the time. 54 9" zippers for $7.99 and free shipping. That is $.14 a piece versus JoAnns at $2.19 each. Or search Ebay too. They always have zipper deals too. I have a drawer full of zippers and I use what I pull out. It doesn't have to match exactly for a project like this.

It is also about 10" deep - that is double because you cut on a fold. So you need a 7" x 10" scrap or there abouts - a little bigger gives you cutting room. I tried regular batting and fusible batting. Fusible wins hands down. The regular batting was to thick. At least what I had, it was a polyester mid loft. Too thick. A thin warm and natural would work great too but I didn't have any. This is a use what I have kind of project. You need lace too. About 14" per purse. I have someone give me a roll of the lace I was using - it is a big roll and has probably 100's of feet of lace. That is all mine are getting again because that is what I have and I had been wondering what the heck am I gonna use all this one. This works.

I didn't write a tutorial yet, but I will. I'll get it posted sometime tomorrow.

Your panty purses are darling. I will watch for your tube because I like quick projects that I can actually finish. Thank you for sharing.

Go to the Home Page and then go back to General Chit Chat. That should refresh your screen and you should be able to see it. I had to edit the page when I posted because I messed up and the pictures weren't there so you are probably still seeing on that page. That is what I'm thinking. Go back, refresh and come back and you should see.

cute idea!!!

Hmmm.....my mother always used to say, "hang on to your britches, young lady". Now I know why.
