Polka Dot Pouch with Little Tree

Still sewing for Christmas.  All was going well until I had a pot holder fiasco.  It started with not being able to get the batting I wanted.  Then there were too many shifty layers. Then the fabric I chose was too stretchy.  It went from bad to worse.

We shall not speak of it.

So I decided to return to the little zip pouches.With this happy little bag I elected to add some applique. I love raw edge applique with sketchy black stitches, so thought I'd give it a try on the dot fabric.  It turned out OK and I think I might like to try more of this.

The color is a bit off in this second pic.  The zipper is NOT that pink.  But you can see the lining. It blends more with the green on the outside than you can tell here.

I have fabrics selected for seven more zippered pouches. They are all stacked up on the ironing board in my sewing room just waiting to be stitched.

 Hopefully there will be no more unspeakable mishaps!
