Triple-Zip Pouch #5

As many of you may recall, I am addicted to making this Triple-Zip Pouch. Yep, this is my 5th one of them. You can see the others here.

Way before Christmas, I'd decided to make one more and had picked out the fabrics for it. My friend, Cindy, who had made and personally delivered this quilt to me all the way from California last summer, was also kind enough to give me the leftover fabrics from the quilt! How sweet is that?! So I couldn't resist putting them into my favorite little pouch. However, I procrastinated Christmas came up too fast and I didn't get it made.

Then Debbie, the author of the Triple-Zip tutorial, decided to have a Triple-Zip Sew-Along. That was just the incentive I needed to get my 5th pouch done. And here it is:

This particular pouch has one little flaw, though. As you may have noticed, the main fabric is directional, which means I had to cut and seam it at the bottom so the cats wouldn't be upside-down on the back of the pouch. I measured very carefully, but for some reason, the seam ended up about a quarter inch onto the front of the pouch. It bugs me. Oh, well... the pouch is just for myself, and I can live with it, I guess. Once I stuff it full of something, it probably won't be so noticeable.

You should see all the Triple-Zip Pouches others have made! There are over a hundred of them so far in the Triple-Zip Flickr group!! Maybe you'd like to give one a try, too. The sew-along doesn't end until Friday, so it'd be easily doable! Go for it... you'll be glad you did, because they're so fun to make! I might even make more! ;)
