I dunno, they sound like dangerous, dangerous places (for my wallet at least)
I finally managed to get a picture of one of my first projects of the year - a new pencil pouch using felt and a zipper and some vintage fabric from the stash I inherited from my great-aunt. I even had a charm in stash for a zipper pull!
This pouch replaced one I made with the same pattern about 6 years and have used until the zipper started to die. It’s a super simple pattern but really effective and sturdy.
