I made up a couple of zippered pouches while I was at it. I used upcycled zippers and coordinating fabric. I made the red one first and found that the end pieces were too bulky looking especially with the contrasting thread. The other one looks neater. Again I put the zippers in first and then bound the edges in seam binding to finish them off neatly. I did add a seam all the way around to help give the pouch a bit of structure. On the red pouch you can see that there is a cat being caught up by an octopus tentacle in the upper left hand corner. I hope there will be some people who will like this fabric as much as I do!!!
