I found a tutorial on how to make this boxy zipper pouch (http://threebears.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/little-boxy-pouch-tutorial/). It looked easy and cute, so I gave it a try. I made mine longer and shorter for no particular reason except that the leftover pieces of the fabrics were about this size. The tutorial only makes it with a single layer of fabric -- I made mine with two layers, so it's lined in red canvas to help give it a little more support. I meant to make the red stripe more towards the middle, but it didn't work out that way once it was all sewn together. Now I'll know if I ever make one again to put it closer to the zipper. If I make another one I also think I will try to figure out a way to make a little end handle for it -- it'll make it easier to transport. It was an easy, quick project for the afternoon.
