A few months ago, Welmoed from the blog, There She Sews, http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-newest-garment-sewing-client.html, wrote me to tell me she had put a separating zipper in the top of her Professional Tote. She very kindly wrote up directions and pictures of how she did that and you can find that info here http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2009/09/professional-tote-zipper-panel.html
The pictures above are one of Welmoeds Professional Tote diaper bags that she made, complete with changing mat. The separating zipper shows up nicely in the bottom picture.
Thank you, Welmoed for taking the time to write up those directions for us!
I am confused on how the center pockets are sewn in and not show on sidepannels. No must been someone else cause I just found y’all e mail can you help
Deborah,
The top zipper is sewn into pieces named Top Zipper Section #3. Then that section #3 is sewn to the bag and the zipper sits down inside of the tote. Are you following the directions, if you are having trouble with a certain step, please tell me which step you are having trouble with and I will try to help?
