I absolutely love the Banana Hammock Pouch by Sincerely Jen Patterns. BUT, as much as I love the pattern, I HATE doing binding more. I originally made a handful of these pouches and finished the seems with binding as called for in the pattern. But let’s be real, this is me, and I knew there…
So I thought it was about time to write up the tutorial for my basic pencil case. This pattern is a quick, simple make that is perfect for getting you comfortable with interfacing and zippers (and it makes a pretty quick gift, too!). This is the first pouch we do in my popular Bag Basics…
