Zippered Pouch

Suzanne, if you're reading this, CLOSE THIS NOW until you get your birthday package....I'm serious! NOW! =)

Are you still reading? Close it! I know you girlie! =) 

Ok, now that she's gone...

I have sewn my first bag...well, small bag. I found this adorable owl pattern, and knew I had to make something for my bestie for her birthday. She is obsessed with owls. I have been friends with her FOREVER it seems like. Since about 8th grade, I think. 

This is us the night of my wedding rehearsal:

Anyways, her birthday was like a month ago, and I'm still working on her stuff that I'm sending her. Everytime I think I'm done, I want to add something else. But, I'm working on the last thing. Finally. 


I am still intimidated by my sewing machine, but I thought this would be an easy project to tackle. It didn't come out perfect by any means, but I hope she likes it!

I used this tutorial from Skip To My Lou. 

I didn't have a different fabric for lining so I just used the same.


You can tell it's my first. Look at the inside. Oh well, right? I tried. She can use it for makeup in her purse or something.

    Very cute! I love the owls! My sewing machine scares me too! I still haven't been very creative with mine and I've had it for years!

    Very cute! Great project, I'm still too afraid to try anything with a zipper. I featured you today on my bag round up :)

    It wasn't that bad, but the bag isn't perfect by any means. The tutorial was SUPER helpful. Thanks y'all for all the lovely comments!
