Here's another cute pouch. I've not tried making it yet but looks very cute & different.

I love making pouches too! They are such great gifts and don't take nearly as long, or cost as much, as a quilt. Yours are really nice! Did you have trouble with the curtaining material fraying a lot?

I have never tried my hand at making pouches or bags with zipper. I have made a number of quilted totes before using left over blocks as the center of the bag. Your bags, both of you Elfi2 and aashley333, are beautiful the craftsmanship is just stunning. I can't wait to see more.

this site has reasonable prices, and they have sent complementary samples with my order.
I ordered faux leather in cobalt blue, red reptile, and brown western embossing. Easier to work with than I thought it would be!
Then I tried a t-shirt! (last pic)

They're really fun to make and once you get going it takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to make one. I searched on lots of YouTube tutorials to find the best way of putting in zips and I think I mastered it now
