Scrappy zipper pouch with a difference!

I was updating my diary for 2024, and wanted to add a zipper pouch (or two!) to the leather journal I keep my diary in, so that I can take little projects with me. I've documented my process here so you can make some pouches of your own!
This little project will let you use vintage textiles, or small pieces of fabric, from your scrap bin to make something practical and beautiful.
I have various kits, zippers and the notions I recommend available at www.sewbehome.com and share almost daily updates on what I'm working on, or happenings in my little patchwork shop, on Instagram @sew.be

How very cool! I always say I could never do a zipper but you made it actually look easy! Thank you so much 💕

They turned out so cute Bec, zippers were never my favourite in sewing class at school, most of my pieces were finished with safety pins, not so good when the pin came undone and stabbed you 😂 Thank you you explained it so well , I’m looking forward to making one for my sewing bits and bobs ❤
