Pattern printed and ready. I just need to get some zippers and I will attempt to make a pouch or two. I am a novice seamstress and really enjoy it! Yes, I am a human pin cushion and my stitches may not be perfect, but I love crafting and learning to sew has been something that I have wanted to do for a long time! Thank you for sharing this pattern.
