Google is dangerous. I googled "how to sew a zippered pouch" and then had a serious zippered pouch sewing party! I kept seeing things and thinking... I could make a zipper pouch for that...

Okay, I am now convinced you have WAY too much time on your hands.
And I am jealous!
I'm zipper obsessed as well!!! they look awesome... great job. I need mega amounts of zippers when we head to Dondaemun next.
You inspired it, Karen!!
And Sabrina - yes I've actually got some time on my hands... but you know how poorly I manage time! Sewing projects completed means I am staying up waaaaaay too late. Or neglecting my children. Hopefully the first one. :)
Too cute! You're my hero. :)
