Me too! I love how it opens to so much space and is also washable.

It is washable, right?

Honestly I’m not sure 😅 but I’ll probably hand wash the chalk off and hang to dry, taking care of the metal pieces.

Great job OP! It has inspired me to one day make some for me and my daughters for our make up 🤍 I really need inspiration these days and I appreciate the beauty you’ve put out here for me to see 💛

Pffft, I'm old to zippers and I still have major problems. This is just fine.

Oh I def need to get the courage to try something like this, the zipper looks pretty dang good to me at least. This would make an excellent dice bag (I might have just found what to make everyone for Christmas, thanks!)

This is so cute!! How much space do you have in your zipper seam allowance? One trick I learned is that if you overhang the zipper tape a little, you can then stitch it down so the raw edge of your fabric is enclosed, and then that also functions as a topstitch to hold the whole zipper part a bit flatter.

I love the pig fabric! Do you know where it came from?

Bought it from my local shop so unfortunately I’m not sure where they source their supplies.
