first one was as tutorial; but too flimsy (I do like the froggys though)
next one was lined with fabric stiffened with Vilsofix ie inside stuck to outside. I made the corners smaller 2 inches wide instead of 3 inches as in tute.
So love this Laurel Burch fabric!
Thing is, I don't think I have ever sewn in a zip before, so I collected them, but too scaredy-cat to do anything- but I bit the bullet and didn't feel a thing.
I think my pile of thrifted zips is going to shrink.
Thanks also for friends' advice and encouragement for sewing chenille - it makes me happy when the computer tells me I have a comment - I may have lots of lurkers, but never many comments, sob, sob - the connection is important to me, so thanks once more, you guys.
One big hug to you all!

Great bags Bron. I was terrified of zippers for years!
I forgot to say that I love the monkey's quilt from your last post! You've done a great job of the zippered pouches. Zips are great - and now you're in the groove!
Great little pouches, I've made a whole pile of them from the same tute, just much larger, for pecil cases. It's the easiest pattern.
I too am a little afraid of zippers. i have snapped the odd needle on my sewing machine going over the zip when I shouldn't have been. I like your choice of fabric.
Gorgeous bags! Just found your blog via avid crafter/crafty bits.. you have some lovely creations here.
Great name for your blog and your doggie is SO cute! :O)
Bronwyn fantastic pouches! I hate zips so good for you! Love the fabric ... but what no embroidery? Only kidding! Please stop by my place as I have tagged you. I hope this helps with your longing for comments ... I too love to see numbers other than 0 :( .
Gosh...I had no idea there was Laurel Burch fabric. I have loved her jewelry for years. An apron would be as far as I can go though... I did my stint with zippers 30?40? yrs ago. :-p
