Sewing - a little pouch with a rhinestone zipper with fun fabrics

I made up another little sewing project for The Everything Rhubarb event for the Gramma Link Africa group.  I found a tutorial on line @ erinerickson.com.  I did not do it quite like she did.  I cut three pink polka dot circles and folded two in half for the front.  I stitched them to each side of the black rhinestone zipper to make my top layer.  I did add a layer of flannel inside them.  I also put a layer of flannel between my third polka circle and the zebra lining circle to make up my back.  I did add several lines of stitching in pink on both the back and the front and a little black tab before stitching it together.   I laid them good sided together leaving the zipper open so I could turn it inside out.  Worked out really well!!  I trimmed the front to be even with the back (there was a bit extra fabric because I added the zipper) and then clipped  the seam allowance a bit to assist in giving the outside edge a smooth finish.  Once I had it turned inside out and pressed I added a row of stitching to keep everything well lined up and capture the seam allowance on the inside.  It is a sparkly little pouch that would be great for carrying earbuds, money or a spare plastic bag for your next shopping trip!!
