To exploit the sewing skills freshly honed from my intro class, I thought I'd whip up some zippered pouches for the girls on my list. And two short days of sewing and cussing and tweaking and re-sewing later: viola! two pouches.
(I will master those damn zippers though. Soon they will be forced to acknowledge my mad, zipper-taming skills. Take that! wily zipper! I will not cower before your snarling teeth!)
Where was I?
Yes...number 1:

Yes...number 1:
pleats! I squee!
a zippered pouch, manufacted with guidance from this tutorial.
The snazzy pleat detail I borrowed from here.

And number 2:
looks a bit like holly
a boxy pouch in faux woodgrain!
And I am all ! about it. I had to resist !ing every word up there. (It's a lot of goodness for one short sentence.)
I thought the pleats would be my hands-down favorite. But, nope. I am sucker for the cube, I discover. And if, perhaps, you are as well, the tutorial is here. Full warning though: these will multiply like tribbles.
Give it a try. You'll see what I mean.
