This post will make me look way more productive than I am, by virtue of procrastination leading to making two posts at once.
I've become a bit obsessed over the zippered pouch, once I figured out how to make them lined and with the zipper on the side. You may remember my
tutorial...
So, I thought, why not make some for, you know, profit?
Here are the first three- the brave few, the prototypes:

here they are! |
I put screen prints on some of the fabric, cause I worried they wouldn't look unique enough without it.

and the other side. |
However, it turns out, they are a bit short for, say, pencils, which is what I had in mind as a stated purpose (though, of course, I never sat down to measure a pencil). Also, my topstitching is without confidence, so the next set omits the topstitching. Also, I had many deep discussions with people about which way the zipper should open. The conclusion is: no one knows for sure!

Not the greatest photograph ever taken. |
These are longer, as well, but I have yet to try to put a pencil in one. Or measure a pencil. Man, I'm really falling down on that relation of product to reality bit.
I've got some more planned - guyish and gender neutral ones, I don't know if there's a market, but, well, why not?
