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.

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!
