I almost always have more than one sewing/needlework project going on at one time. I also tend to plan projects in advance and then don't want to add the fabric/notions to my general stash. I used to put these "to do" projects in gallon sized ziploc bags, but not anymore my friends! I made these cute project pouches with fabric remnants (stash busting, yay!), fun bright colored zippers, and plastic vinyl. I used a tutorial for reference but didn't strictly follow it. The finished exterior size on these ended up being 9 x 11 inches. I used 14 inch zippers. I cut the vinyl at 12 x 17 inches, which was folded for the top and bottom seams and then sewn on the side seams. The fabric on either side of the zipper I cut at two strips at 14 x 4 inches, then I folded under 1/2 inch on each end and then folded in half so I ended up with two fabric strips measuring 1 and 1/2 inches. It was a quick project to sew up and now my "to do" projects have pretty homes instead of those boring gallon sized bags!Vinyl Project Pouches
