petite zip pouch

When I get change at a store,

I just toss the coins in my purse.

Since we save coins for the Anniversary Fund,

I rarely use them,

but every once in awhile,

when my purse is already heavy,

and the 'cents' part is closer to a dime than a dollar,

I'll decide to use some change.

When that happens,

I have to move the big stuff in my purse aside,

to grab a handful of coins (and bits of trash).

I always think, 'I need to make a coin purse.'

But then I don't.

But Friday, after I finished curriculum shopping,

and filled out the forms,

and turned them in,

That changed.

(haha - changed)

One of the reasons I don't make pouches/bags for myself,

is I tend to overthink it.

I think I have to have The Perfect Fabrics For ALL Time.

And  there's too much pressure.

This time I just told myself to pick fabric I like. 

Period.

Well, goodness.

There are lots of fabrics I like!

Without the need for it to be my favorite
and
last forever and be positively perfect in every way,

I could just.make.a.pouch for myself.

Who knew?!

(All fabrics were scraps from other projects, 

including the zipper, which came from this)

(holy cow! that was over 5 years ago!)
