I saw this tutorial - http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/2011/04/guest-project-make-zippered-pouch-with.html and wanted to try it. It was pretty easy and turned out cute. I think I will do another one or more in the future.
I used a 7 inch white zipper, brown/aqua print fabric for the outside and a white fabric for the lining.
