apr 24 architextures open wide pouch- closed
Love this Architextures fabric from Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman! Need to find more since I've only got small scraps now.
Noodlehead tutorial for open wide zipper pouch:

It wasn't hard since she has wonderful instructions with great photos if you've never sewn a zipper.
My only problem was starting - that darn zipper head always got in my way and caused my seam to go awry, my fix was to open the zipper part way, sew a little, zip it back and then finish the rest of the seam. Maybe it was user error since I haven't even been sewing a year, could be I didn't make enough of a seam allowance? It's all good, I love the pouches and the tutorial (free!) is fab, too :)
These will be birthday presents for some of my cousins, hope they like 'em.
