I'm not going to call this pouch perfect, but it came together so much more easily than my first zippered pouch! I'm starting to feel, dare I say it, confident about zippers. Fear, be gone! Let me just say this - Kelly's tips in her tute about the zipper size versus the pouch size are super helpful and I will keep those in mind with all future pouches.
Even the zipper ends look all cute! I'm so proud of this pouch, and I'm glad I decided to use some fabric I really love, some MoMo Freebird I've been hoarding since I started sewing last year.
This pouch is going to be perfect for carting around all of my coupons! Right now, it's loaded up with Jo-Ann's coupons, crossing my fingers that today's delivery truck will hold some of the new DS Quilts fabrics.
I'm still working on gathering some scraps to make a prototype large scrappy/linen make-up pouch for the Pretty {little} Pouch swap, but I'm feeling a lot better about zippers now. Phew!

ReplyDeleteLove your pouch full of coupons! Hope you find some today :)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid of zippers too so I've been continuously putting them off and finding alternatives to zippers when I can. Great job on the pouch. It's adorable.
ReplyDeletei am hoping to find some ds at joanns today also! good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks adorable! Zippers can be a headache until they just *click* and then you'll be a pro. I'm glad you're sticking with it!
ReplyDeleteYou have done lovely work and the fabric is so beauriful!
ReplyDeleteGood job!!! That looks more than presentable to me. Thanks for pointing us to Kelly's tute, I bookmarked it for future use.

ReplyDeleteThat is DARLING!! I love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! (And - I know Kelly! She's as cute in real life as she is in Blogland.)
ReplyDeleteCute! I got some DS fabric last night. My Joanns had most of them in stock. I bought three different yards (with three 50% off coupons!) I have some fun plans....
ReplyDeleteThat tute was great - thanks for linking. And I love your pouch. It's well beyond presentable, lady!
ReplyDeleteI have not mastered zippers myself as of yet, but I think your pouch looks wonderful...keep up the good work! Maybe someday I will give those darn zippers a try.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, you did it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
Now there's no stopping you!
