Thanks to the heads up from Erin I learned about and joined the Triple Zip Pouch Swap being hosted by Stephanie at Quarter Incher. Having never created a triple zip pouch before I wanted to do a test run before committing to final fabrics for my partner. It is probably no surprise to anyone who follows this blog that I chose Anna Maria Horner fabrics! However, I will probably never choose a stripe for something like this again, getting that straight was a pain in the arse but I whooped it into shape in the end!
I knew I wanted to continue something onto the back so I decided to continue the front/top zip fabric by sewing the massive selvage (seriously, for selvage standards this was pretty large) onto the back. I love how it gives a bit of an elegant finish to the top!
I would never have bothered to learn how to make a triple zip pouch without this swap as motivation. I am psyched to have joined!

It's lovely, I have made a few of those pouches.
Pretty! Love the addition of the selvage. I'd better move my butt for this swap.

Love the selvedge in there - it's a gorgeous pouch :o)
(Wiping up drool) And I salute YOU for a fabulous finish! Wow!
Love the selvedge addition, a great idea.
Love it! Love the selvage on the back too. Nice touch.
It is fantastic. Swaps have also stretched me into learning something new...
