Double Exposure Zippered Pouch - A New Pattern!

Well, it's about time I introduced a new pattern!

Today I present the

tutorial-style pattern for my

Double Exposure Zippered Pouch!

In this pattern,

you'll learn how to apply "exposed" zippers,

which can then be trimmed with lace,

to resemble those gorgeous Japanese lace zippers.

{You know you've been wanting those lace zippers!}

This pouch is quick and easy to sew.

All you need are 2 or 3 fat quarters of fabric,

some Pellon 987F fusible fleece,

2 zippers

and 1 1/2 yds. lace or other trim.

For my sample,

I used Bonnie and Camille fabrics from the

Marmalade and Scrumptious lines.

The tangerine zippers came from Zipit on Etsy.

The pattern is full of photos to guide you, step by step.

Before long,

you have a stylish and useful double-pocket pouch.

You could keep some hexagons in one pocket...

and keep sewing supplies in the other pocket.

The pouch finishes at 9 1/2" x 12",

which makes it large enough to carry

some types of tablets, too!

You can fold the whole thing in half,

so it can go into a tote bag or purse.

Look what I did with the zipper pulls, for a final touch!

I cut some narrow ribbon (3/8" wide) on an angle,

then threaded it through the zipper pull.

I knotted it and trimmed it neatly.

{A touch of gingham makes everything sweeter!}

You can find my pattern for the

Double Exposure Zippered Pouch right here on Craftsy.

I've also listed it in my shop on Etsy,

called eamylove.

Come back tomorrow...

I'm having a GIVEAWAY to celebrate!
