Tute: Double Zipper Pouch/Pencil Case

Double Zipper Pouch/Pencil Case Tute by Chris Dodsley @madebyChrissieD.com

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.

How hot has your August been?  It's been pretty hot and humid here in NYC, don't know about you but I'm looking forward to cooler temps coming soon.

I'm sharing the Simply Chic Satchel with you today.  When I started making it I had a plan but wasn't sure how it would turn out but now it's finished I like it so much I want to turn it into a pattern for you.
