I am still working on how to get consistent results for my zippered dice bags using fabric and batting but if you have a scrap of leather and 50cm of zipper laying about this is probably my actual favourite so far.

It's pocket sized but it can hold 2 sets and it opens into a little rolling tray.

Split the zip in half, double up one half, thread the zipper pull, mark the lengths along the zip from the centre side starting at the point when it is fully closed, match the marks and use those little clip things to hold the zip in place, sew about 2mm from the edge leaving a 2cm gap where the ends meet. Zip it closed to make sure it aligns right. Trim the excess zipper and use something to seal the end of it (I use LED resin).

The basic theory is the same no matter the size, so you can also use this technique to make bigger rolling bags too.

#Once I finally nail down the fabric ones I am going to do a proper write up tutorial of them #I have made like 20 already and have a half dozen good ones #but I am going to try using regular interfacing and just a boring old glue stick #just as soon as I can get some regular old interfacing #I just had to take a photo of this one anyway for when I inevitably lose that one scrap of paper #that is literally the whole pattern #this doesn't count as a sewing pattern but I need the words here to search for it later
