It's a start

Thank goodness the weather has cooled a little and I can bear to do something other than sweat buckets. I have played a bit more with my chintz furnishing samples to make this lined, zippered pouch.

I had never made one with lining but there is a lot of tutorials on the internet.  I'm not totally happy but I learned what not to do next time. I plan to make some for the shop at Wolston House. My local Bargain Box fabric shop had a stack of cheap zips which suits me and my thrifty soul just fine!
