I made this cute little zipper pouch for a birthday gift. The pattern shows decorations of either oversized ric rac or buttons. I liked them both and couldn't decide which to use. So I put buttons on one side and ric rac on the other! This zipper pouch is about 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". I'm a fairly new quilter, and I don't do any other sewing, so this is a bit of a challenge. But the directions, by Terry Atkinson, are extremely easy to follow. I would recommend her patterns to anyone interested in making anything from large shopping bags to small zipper pouches for cell phones or glasses.
