My mum has always been a big Winnie the Pooh fan. I have memories of a dress, a magical picture on the wall, and she has worn the same Winnie the Pooh watch for years and years. So when I saw this special edition Disney anniversary Winnie the Pooh fabric… I just had to get some. I whipped it up last week, posted it last Thursday 4-day express… and she got it yesterday. Ah well. Well worth the wait – she loved it!

This was my first lined zippered pouch and I’m in love! A little bit more fiddling, but much more pretty and so much more effective – I love the surprise pop of colour ๏ปฟof the Japanese fabric inside! And now that I can source YKK zippers straight. from. the. source… Well, cheaply in a Japanese bricks and mortar store anyway… I foresee a few more! And once I get a 12″ zip and some interfacing, I’ll be trying this gorgeous fully lined box pouch!
Zippity your’s,
Alyce xx

This is too cute! I love that Pooh fabric! Great job on this. Zippers scare the daylights out of me… someday I will get over my fear, but not yet. ๐

Your bag looks fabulous! First try? Must be you were a bag maker in a past life!
I have only seen those zips in ready to wear, and not even in thrift stores! Lucky you!
