Double Exposure Zippered Pouch - A New Pattern!

This pouch is quick and easy to sew.
All you need are 2 or 3 fat quarters of fabric,
some Pellon 987F fusible fleece,

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.

I knotted it and trimmed it neatly.

Come back tomorrow...
I'm having a GIVEAWAY to celebrate!
