After seeing Melinda's (Quirky Granola Girl) Patchwork Death Star, I knew immediately that I absolutely had to make one for my Star Wars loving sister-in-law, Shelley.

Some NEWS about my Zipper Pulls that may concern you, if you are looking to buy them in the next couple of weeks.
I have been very disappointed that my recent batch of the NICKEL COLOUR "handmade" zipper pulls (the top one in the above photo), are scratched and not acceptable to me. They got by QC unnoticed, but my manufacturer has been very accommodating and apologetic and is remaking the whole order of zipper pulls and labels. Sadly this means that I have to make them "Out of Stock" again. They have promised a rush order, and they will be ready in 2 weeks.
I still have the Antique Brass ones (shown below), as well as the "handcrafted" & one with a maple leaf. Thank you for your patience, I really think this is necessary to ensure that you get the best quality product that I can give.
