You and your partner can also agree on a loose interpretation of pouch. If you expand your definition then you will find all kinds of non-zipper options.

I want a letter! Just plain old newsy news of the moment.
Here’s the “pouch” I requested.
Not a zipper to be seen. It doesn’t even need a button.
Here is another gorgeous zipperless choice. It is simple to construct wirh so much luscious scrappiness.
I joined!!! Yay!
I have joined my first swap after WAY too many years of lurking!
This swap has my name ALLLL over it, however I’m out of swapping for a while. So I will follow along cheering from the sidelines and maybe join in a smiliar swap, one day in the future
Welcome to the party!!
Yay! Swapping is so much fun. Im glad you took the plunge!
Thanks for this - I’m on the fence about joining because I only add zippers once a millennium so I get all kinds of anxious about attempting one.
Oh, do it Susan! I would love to see your interpretation of themes! I can sew all the zippers myself, a pouch without one would be just awesome too.
Yes! You can be creative with your closures! You could even use a button and loop closure with elastic! As long as it shuts properly, I think it doesn’t have to be a zipper!
You’d be such a great addition to our pouch swapping roster/gallery!
I gave in & joined! I wasn’t going to swap this year but i have a bunch of pouch-making supplies at hand and decided it was a small enough project that I could handle it!
Yay! Glad to have you!
Can’t wait! This is my first swap for ages!
