Zippered pouch with tabs

Edit: I made a second for me.

Little pouch for a friend who loves grey and who I going away next week for a few weeks.

I make a lot of pouches, but I think I’m finally getting better. The tabs on the zip were an opportunity for a little pop of colour. And the inside has a bit more colour

I was lucky enough to be in @MistressJennie house two summers ago, and @AIMR came to visit. (Just that statement will have loads of you green with envy I know-how lucky am I?)

AIMR brought me this fabulous fabric, flamingos and Charlie Harper. I love it so so much. I’ve used a bit to edge some flamingo pillowcases. But I want a pouch for me for work stuff. So in the spirit of “use the good fabric” @Magpie (thanks for keeping reminding us) I made this. I added a little welt pocket inside, with more funky fabric. The purple swirls are from an old skirt and the red is from a previous craft swap
