This bag was created following most of the instructions by Jenny Doan (Missouri Star Quilt Co) on You Tube. I didn't top stitch the zip as she advised and then I regretted it as the seam looked quite ugly when I opened the zipper. Lesson learned. (Edit: I have hand sewn inside to neaten the zipper area now - it is now much better than in the pic)
My Janome 8050XL does not cope well with very thick material or sewing over several layers of thin material. It judders to a halt.More power needed! I tried a denim needle and I lengthened the stitch but to no avail. I then ironed the prospective seam lines flat and had some success.
First zipper bag. Time to have another try.
