Last weekend was tax-free back to school shopping in NC so my daughter and I hit the stores to pick up her back to school supplies. She will be a senior this year and she really didn't need a lot. We picked up a couple of notebooks, paper, pens, and pencils. She wanted a new pencil bag but could not find one that she liked. So, I offered to make her one. Now, I am always offering to make things for her but I am very guilty of not being fast about it. I promised that I would have a pencil case made for her before the start of school. So we headed over to the fabric store where she picked out the fabric and zipper. And I searched online for a pattern.
I googled something like zippered pouch tutorial and found a
blog post on one of my favorite web sites,
Sew Mama Sew. The post lead to a free class offered on
Craftsy. So of course I signed up for the class and printed the pattern and today I made this:
The zipper is orange (which is her favorite color) matches the bird's beak.
Here is the inside:
I hope she likes it!
And now, I have to make my husband a pair of golf shorts. And suggestions?

You did a great job!
Nice job on the zipper. That would be my downfall. Thank goodness for velcro!
