Day 103 : Chocolate Fireworks Makeup Bag

Day 76: Pink Mirage Makeup Bag

So this is similar to the coin purse except that I used a 9 inch zipper.  I was planning on making a pencil case but this was the actual end result.  Not all is lost, I put this in my purse to keep my perfume, lotions and lip balms from straying.  I used  100% cotton fat quarters and 100% recycled fabric (similar to what is found in reusable bags).  Make sure you use the zipper foot on your sewing machine for the best results.

Day 71: Pink Mirage Change Purse

Today I decided to work on a personal project.  A coin purse that I have been using for two years was starting to exhibit signs of wear and tear.  I tried to take the zipper off of it but it kind of crumbled.  So I bought a Fat Quarter  and some zippers from Joann and made my own coin purse.  It came out great and for the lining I used the recyclable fabric used to make shopping bags.
