leather bottom pouch

Pouches are my absolute favorite thing to sew. So, when I noticed the other day how very "tired" the pouch I was using as my wallet looked, I was more than happy to clear my schedule and make myself a replacement pouch.

The pouch is inspired by Leather Bottom Zipper Pouch from Krista's fantastic book Beyond Cotton.

I made it a bit smaller than the one in Krista's book and I added a zipper pocket on the outside. I also added a removable wrist strap (mostly so I could use some fun hardware),

and super practical card slots.

I think it's a perfect addition to my other everyday pouches. I like to keep them all in my bag as they help me stay organized and actually find what I need without having to dump the contents of my bag every time I look for a chapstick or a pen.

Thanks for stopping by, friends. Svetlana
