QAYG Zipper Tote Bag / TUTORIAL – Junyuan bags

Hi everyone and welcome back to Tutorial Thursday! Today I’m showing you how to sew this cute Quilt as You Go Zipper Tote Bag.

I am loving the quilt as you go panels, they’re so fun and versatile! Today we’ll be using one for our outside pocket, and I think it just gives this bag a little something extra. We’ll also be learning how to install a zipper too, so stick around and learn something new!

I hope you’ll join me for my QAYG Zipper Tote Bag tutorial.
