Up close and personal with my weird, crooked stitches and wonky zipper insertion.

The chapter I'm currently working in, pouches, had 3 projects listed as usual, but I thought the first one was dumb, so I skipped it. (It was making an eyeglasses case by folding a piece of felt in half and sewing two edges). I'll make another, more challenging eyeglasses case later.But for now, I wanted to replace this challenge with a project of my own that I thought was in the same realm, but would be harder for me to work through.I found this easy to work through tutorial and set to work.I had to think through what elements I wanted to be what color, and figure out which sizes cut they would turn out to be. It was a bit backwards for my brain to sift through, but I got it.My zipper is inserted a bit wonky ( I HATE working with the zipper foot- I have a lot of trouble controlling it) but it works and it's there. For now that's all that matters haha.I had to do it twice; the first time it popped off, so I'm worried that it won't hold up well. Time will tell. I figure, this will be mine, and if it falls apart, I'll harvest it's parts for another project and make myself another one.This would be another great holiday gift, so I might make a few more for practice and give them out this year;)
