This time the pouch is padded with the material I use when quilting.

It's a really good size for many things.

Inside. I like using colors that contrast, even clash with each other.

One of my new sewing books had a picture of zipper sewing that lifted my fear of giving pouch making another try.

I needed to make gifts for teachers.

I made several. I am not quite at the stage of the learning curve where the skill is second nature.

Look Momma ...

I learned how to sew zippers!

My friend, who has made many things with zippers from herzipperstach, heard my calling and invited me over for a quick tutorial. Et voila, my prized yellow pouch.

I left with gifts, fresh off the oven bread, and more books to look through. My Momma would be proud.
