Just found you as I was scrolling along KZread looking for something I wanted to watch. I immediately noticed you don't have the music, that most people have on. Which made me soooo happy. I loved your personality, and you didn't talk for 20 minutes before starting the instructions, which I also loved. So I subscribed. Can't wait to see what you do next!

STRONGLY AGREE with you about NO music. tastes vary in music, plus it is DISTRACTING IMHO.
What a fabulous idea. These would be great with one side having the clear plastic for a window to see project inside 😊

I have tons of zippers but I still think this is a very clever idea! I would even think it would be smart to leave the plastic bag and just add an outer fabric! Especially for travel!!

Such a great project! FYI The man who invented the slider would have loved this idea. He passed last year. We attended the same church for years. He also was my daughters Sunday School Teacher. At his memorial service I was so amazed to hear all he had patented. He also invented the bean bag chair 😊 Happy crafting 🩵

Brilliant idea! Idea for the part of the bag that you cut off: Cut a piece just larger than paper size, bind it with trim, tack it to the front of the bag. Now you have a window for a picture of the pattern that is inside the bag

My mom made me a circular needle notebook with these types of bags in 2005, they all still work and are holding up. Surprisingly the bags even look good after all these years of dealing with the points of my dpns and 16in. circulars. I always have a hat project with me since I donate. I love this idea. I reuse my bags and wash them until they are no good. But now I can upcycle the slider part. Love it ❤ Happy stitching 🪡

This is awesome!! I love the slider idea instead of a zipper. I'm not afraid of zipper installation, but I don't always want to fiddle with them, and this is such a great alternative! And if you didn't cut the slide off, but kept the same steps - you'd have a waterproof bag!!
