Peachy Flower on Green Zipper Pouch

For a while now, I have successfully expanded the variety of metal teeth zipper supplies for sale on my craft materials website, SilvermintSupplies. Bringing in a consistent stream of new customers as well as retaining many regulars. I probably provide one of the largest collection of metal teeth zippers for sale on Etsy.

Strange enough though, I personally have not tried using the huge variety of metal teeth zippers I have readily on hand for my craft projects. I have always been using nylon zippers and been so used to it.

So  today, I finally decided to give it a go. I used a heavy duty fabric so that it could take the weight of the metal zipper. In doing so, the purse would be able to stand upright without flopping downwards like a wilted flower should a light fabric be used.  I also decided that it is about time that I learnt to create another variation of flower.  And so, I came up with a project to created this zipper pouch purse.

Final verdict, I would definitely have to agree with my customer’s comments that the zipper are of fantastic quality and add a touch of class to our creations.

An enchanting forest green background and a light peachy flower. As wonderful as nature would have it.

This zipper pouch was made using high quality gold metal teeth zipper. Dark green colored exterior fabric is heavy and durable. Decorated with a row of white floral trim and a light peachy fabric flower sewn down with a single yellow button on top.

Works great as a little hand clutch to bring along. Comfortably fits your mobile phone, some stationary and maybe some stash of cash and sweets.

Length: 7inch [17.8cm]
Height: 5.5inch [10.2cm]

The Complete Wedding Purse Set

I had a bride-to-be who loves polka-dots and she asked if I was able to include it in her wedding purse designs.  But, of course! I do always try my best to work towards getting what people want, especially for their big day. I had all the inner linings of her clutch purse orders in polka-dots.  We had great discussion on the colors combinations. What goes with whose dress, will this match that… It is no wonder as she is a graphic designer and definitely have an eye for the artistic.  And she ended up ordering what I call ‘the complete set’ for her wedding.  What does the ‘complete set’ comprises of?
