Tute: Double Zipper Pouch/Pencil Case
The Double Zipper Pouch/Pencil Case is wide enough to hold a 12" ruler and a notepad up to 5-5/8" wide alongside just about anything else you might need on your first day Back To School. It also has a separate zippered front pocket to hold your spare change and even your phone! Its size makes it versatile; how about using it as a makeup bag or a coupon pouch?

September and October Progress & News
I travelled much of September - South Africa and more of the same coming up for the rest of October - Barcelona. Not complaining but it is my excuse reason for not doing a progress report at the end of September. Given that I'll be away now for the rest of October and won't be sewing during that (other than my usual travelling handwork) I thought I'd combine the two months.
