I’m super excited to share with you how to make a zipper bag!! I have wanted to learn how to make a zipper bag forever and this weekend I officially mastered it! I think (and hope) that my video will help you be successful at making a zipper bag too!
Zipper bags are fun and easy to make and with a lining inside they look professional. You can use them to hold candy, makeup, Air Pods, charge cords, medicine, the list goes on and on!! If you’ve never sewn a zipper on a bag, this is the perfect one to make! I’ll show you everything from start to finish!
Here’s just a few of the Zipper Bags I made this weekend..

Update July 1st: We have updated our FREE Zipper Bag PDF to include all the different measurements shown in the picture. I believe my two favorite sizes are the 7-1/2″ x 5″ and the 9-1/2″ x 6-1/2″. Which size is your favorite?
Details about the zipper bag demonstrated in the video
- Dimensions (size of bag): 7-1/2″ x 5″
- Fabric (two for outside and two for lining): 8″ x 7″
- Interfacing (four pieces): 7-1/2″ x 6-1/2″
- Fabric: Lovestruck by Lella Boutique Moda Fabric
Same size with same fabric line using a different pattern of the fabric. I’m not sure which one I like best!!
The next bag is slightly larger and the fabric is: Honeyblooms by 3 Sisters Moda Fabric

Several years ago I made these two zipper bags, but I didn’t film a video and I forgot how to make them. This time I filmed the video the day after I relearned how. I’ll film new videos for the two bags below (once I figure out the measurements).
Here’s a chart of my other Zipper Bags…

Angie, this is ADORABLE!!! I am really going to try to make this bag, I am not very good at zippers, but we are on Summer Break so I am going to give it a go! I did the reversible bags you did a demo on years ago and I can put them out like a factory! I am hoping with a little practice and watching and re-watching your video,I can master it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the camper bag, too cute!
