Midnight Mothers Day Zipper Pouches


Here's a lovely self portrait with me at 3:23 am on Mother's Day after an impromptu sewing adventure that tragically could not begin until SNL was over, Justin Timberlake was hosting and for reasons different than most other girlies out there, I love him! But I digress . . .

Lying in bed watching this hilarious sketch, I kept thinking about this Black Apple post and even though I could not discover her secret formula for the zipper pouch I found a couple of tutorials and I needed something quick and cute to accompany two mothers day cards for my sister-in-laws. So I bounced out of bed, grabbed some cute fat quarters and zippers I had lying in my disaster of a craft room and voila, here they are:





I can't tell you how fun these were to sew! I only messed up slightly with the lavender bag, the lining fabric was supposed to be the outside and the purply polka dots on the inside, but luckily I had these adorable deer patches to make it seem less bland. Either way, I'm kinda stoked to make about a zillion more of these!
