Improved pouch

Thank you to those of you who left nice
comments for my last post. I'm so glad to
hear that some of you were looking for
a lunch bag just like that! Same here! I was
feeling so bad for Joe who was carrying
his bento box in a worn-out paper bag.
Not that he cared about it but I didn't
like it at all. Now that he's lunch bag
is prettier, I should work on making his
bento look prettier too! One day I want to
be able to make bento like hers, hers and hers.

Kristina of What the Stitch? sewed up a lunch
bag already, and she shares the picture here. So cute!



This is a custom pouch I just put in the mail.
I felt a bit challenged when I learned that
the recipient does not like red and aqua,
because those colors were the colors I was
going after these days, but it turned out
that it wasn't hard at all to come up with a
combination of fabrics that I love,
without much red and aqua colors in it.

This has a strap made with really nice linen,
and a little loop right underneath it to
hold keys. The recipient wanted this pouch
to carry her cellphone and keys among
other things and wanted to make sure that
keys are outside of the pouch so they won't
scratch her new phone. What a great idea!
I think I'll add the loop for all my
future pouches now. Oh and also she wanted



Two pockets to put some cards. This too is
a great idea, I think. Thank you for giving
me lots of ideas to spiffy up my pouches.
Speaking of the pouch, many folks have asked me
to make a tutorial on this, but I am still debating
whether I should do it because there are so many
great zipper pouch tutorials in the blog world that
it might be silly of me if I post a tute also.
But I know there might be some of you who want to
make a pouch exactly like this one, so if that's the
case, let me know in the comment! If you
are just looking for any types of zipper pouch
tutorials, how about these fabulous ones?
