Portsmith Fermeture à glissière + doublure en option

I was nervous about adding a zipper since I've only done basic sewing, but the off-white canvas lining matched my project perfectly and the PDF instructions broke every step down clearly. Took me about an hour start to finish and the closure sits flat with no puckering.

The video walkthrough made the zipper install way less scary than I expected. The off-white canvas lining gives the bag a much sturdier feel than the fabric I was using before. Took me about an hour start to finish and it came out cleaner than I hoped.

I was nervous about adding a zipper since I'd only done basic totes before, but the video walked me through every step. The zipper kit came with everything color-matched so I didn't have to hunt down hardware. Took me about two hours and it looks like it came from a store.
