How to Make a Tote Bag with a Zipper

Learn how to make a tote bag with a recessed zipper. This one is made to fit a Mahjong set but you can make it any size you want. Make a tote for yourself or as a gift. I made these for my Mahjong-loving relatives. You can also add interior and exterior zippers or more pockets to fit your needs.

This was exactly what I needed to make a mahjong bag for my daughter in law. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions!

I just want to thank you for EXPLAINING HOW to make this bag any other size!! This is such a tremendous help! I also wanted to add that I absolutely LOVE the way you installed this zipper. So much easier than a normal recessed zipper! I'm going to figure out my dimensions and make this bag.. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for this! I knew exactly what I wanted and this was it! Plus I loved how she explained how to adjust the sizes. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. It's perfect!

Thanks. Great tutorial. I watched last night and made a bag today using your dimensions. It fits my Siamese Mah Jongg racks and tiles but is a bit snug. I’m going to add an inch to the width, two inches to the height and 1/2 inch to the gussets to make bags for a standard Mah Jongg sets which have wider racks. Now I know what I’m giving my Mah Jongg friends for Christmas.

The best pattern for a zip top tote I've found!

Sew (so!!) glad I found this tutorial! I have the cutest cotton sheets that I bought for another sewing project but the pattern repeat was too large but they would make the cutest beach bags. I have sewn bags without top zippers but I really wanted a zippered top - can't wait to do these!! Perfect for summer!!!
