needlepunch pouch

Before i start, I'd like to say thank you for the comments on my last post. I had some messages of support which were lovely to read. It real does help to know people understand and/or care.  So thank you.

 I made a little needle punch / punch needle picture ages and ages ago... let me have a look.  Oh!  February 2013.  So three years ago.  My WIPs just get older by the day!  Anyway, I pulled it off one of my many WIP piles and made it into a little pouch.

I don't know what the fabric is that I used, but I wanted something that went with one of the threads used on the main piece.

That unsightly buldge on the back is one of my needle punches, see...

I lined it with an old Petit Ecole print that I thought matched the colour scheme.  

I've made loads of pouches in my time and I STILL can't get the zip ends neat.  I don't know how other sewers do it.

    I've kind of given up on zip ends. No matter my technique they never come out looking nice. I feel your pain :)

    Love the little heart, very apt at this time of year. The zip looks fine to me.

    It's delightful. And as for WIPS - convert them to WISPs (Works in Slow Progress)!

    Love it! I actually have a finished punch needle that I don't know what to do with. This is definitely a good idea! :D

    Thanks for linking up to the Creative Craft Bloggers Group Link Party! I love your project. About zippers, I have such a hard time with them as well. It looks great though!
