A Little Pouch

I often hit the Thrift Shops when they are having sales. Lately I've come across some pretty cool vintage sheets and pillowcases for cheap.  I am going to be up-cycling/recycling  them to make quilts or duvet covers when the weather gets cool enough to set up my sewing machines for a big project .  Recently the Shop closest to me was having a 75% off sale.  I remembered seeing  some cute little zippered pouches on Pinterest and thought about them when I saw the Zippers!  75% off meant 4 zippers for a quarter.  Now who could pass that by? Not me!

My first little "Pouchie"

 This is the tutorial I followed to make Pouchie.  It has pretty good directions especially when it comes to putting the zipper in.  I kind of fudged the size, but for a first attempt, I was very happy.  It is soft and bendy.  Next time I am going to put in some interfacing for a bit of a stiffer pouch.  I used this on the weekend when I was out walking with friends.  It held my ID, debit card and a bit of cash perfectly, and I tucked it right into my pocket.
