Just Add a Zipper!
I have to say, I love bags with zippers. They are so practical and easy to carry around. I also love the Daily News Bag. It's quick and easy to sew. The topstitching details really make it seem professionally done. So I decided to combine my two loves, by creating a Daily News Bag with a colorful Riri Zipper.
I used Deep Plum High Performance Upholstery for the bag and Grey Ultrasuede for the trims and handles. The multi-color Riri Zipper gave a nice contrast to the dark purple and silvery grey. I just added the zipper to the right side of the Ultrasuede trim, with the zipper tape showing to the outside.
The slouchy and soft feeling of this bag is perfect for these warm summer days. It's sporty, yet elegant style will fit right in line for end of the summer travels.
Don't forget to check out other High Performance Upholstery fabrics: Grey & Black Mesh, Red & Turquoise Mesh, High Performance in Bordeaux, High Performance in Plum, and Perforated Suede in Black.
