i'm going to leave pouch making to the experts. despite getting really good advice from zenzhey (who told me i was on the right track with making tabs on the zip, just to make them longer) i managed to cut off my tabs by accident and got crappy top corners again. i did manage to make a standy-uppy one though, without too much brain power needed. maybe i'll have another go when i'm feeling less pissed off :)

I've never tried sewing zips into anything - i'm putting it off because i'm not confident with it at all. Other people make it look so easy - maybe it's just a case of practice makes perfect :S
I won't let you give up!! :-)
I hated them so much and now I am in love! I want to spread the love! I'll post some pictures for you. Your lining isn't right, I think..
But I am new at all this so who knows! lol
Your fabrics are so right for this. You have to make zippered something with them!
funnily enough, jodie at ric rac has just posted this:
