Hi Jean, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed making the Zippy Bags—and that you’ve already made two! It’s such a fun and quick project, and we’re glad the video tutorials helped make it even easier.
Yours turned out absolutely adorable! We’d love for you to share them in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Facebook Group—your creativity could inspire others to give it a try.
Happy sewing, The Sallie Tomato Team

Being a beginner it was doable but a little challenging. Thank goodness for the excellent tutorial I found. I made 3 bags now, and can't wait to make another. The most challenging part was near the end when sewing the front and back panels together. I don't quite get what happens with the zipper tabs. The tutorial said not to sew over them. Is there supposed to be a hole/gap right there??. Regardless, I love the bags. Super addicting!
That’s such a relatable journey—thank you for sharing it with such honesty and enthusiasm! The fact that you’ve already made three bags as a beginner says a lot about your determination and growing skill. I would leave a bit of a gap there. Please post your makes in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group. It is a great group for help and inspiration. Happy sewing.

I wanted to have some experience sewing with cork fabric. I was referred to Sally Tomato for patterns where I also found a great selection of cork fabric. I am grateful for the downloadable patterns because they come right away. The fabric I ordered was shipped quickly, with reliable tracking information. Now, I'm in my happy place sewing a Zippy Bag.
We so appreciate you trying out our products and that you are in your happy place creating. If not a member-please join our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook for more inspiration. Happy sewing and thank you.
