I made some zipper pouches for dear daughter for her to use as travel organization. She has a couple of trips planned in the next few months and I wanted to thank her for helping me out with something recently. So I made three pretty quilted zipper pouches for her. She has quite of few of these in her collection, she loves them. This is a quick and easy project.
I use the Crafty Gemini zipper pouch video tutorial on Youtube for the directions. Here is the link. The only thing I need the tutorial for is how to put the zipper in and where to add the wrist strap if I'm putting one on my bag.
I did not put a wrist strap on these bags. I make my pouches whatever size I can made from the fabric I have, I just have to make sure I have the zipper that is long enough for what I want to make. I used 12" zippers for these. When I add a wrist strap, I make mine wider.
You can't really see it in the pictures but these are a very soft aqua color with tiny white polka dots. This is one of my favorite fabrics. I was proud of myself for giving it up to make something for someone else. Zipper pouches are a great way to use up small pieces of fabric.
I'd like to try to make some boxy pouches. I found a few video tutorials for those. They are pretty simple, you just have to box the corners which I have done on other projects before.
I also did a lot of knitting on my ribbed stocking cap. The red section is now 15" long. I'm not sure I have enough yarn to get to the 48" of red that I want, but I'm going to give it a shot. It doesn't look like much, but the white cuff fits perfectly and that's exactly what I needed.
No progress on my hexie quilt top. I pulled out the box with the pieces in it and I'm planning on getting started on it again this weekend.
