my mum for mothers day. I just need a little guidance and instruction. I am fairly new to sewing and usually my mum helps me but seeing as i am trying to surprise her i wanted to have a bash myself. Or with a little help. I have the fabric , the lining , and the zipper (which is something i have never sewn before a zipper) but didn't want to cut anything and ruin it Thanks in advance Fran |

For smaller bags to use up your stash look under www.sewingwithnancy.com and go to free projects and then 'organize". She has instructions for some small portable totes, as she calls them.
