I made this for my SIL for her birthday. Fortunately, she lives around the corner, so I just put the bag on her doorstep during my morning walk and then texted her to take a look. Not as good a party with cake, but something during this shelter-in-place situation.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things I had trouble with. I am pretty pleased with the evenness of the zipper, but the ends were a bit of a problem. Next time, I think I will use a coordinating or solid fabric for the side pieces. I think it will highlight the themed fabric better. I find that making a project the first time is always an adventure and a learning experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49223\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49223\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-49223\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"Cal themed Cotton Candy Pouch\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-1536x990.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-2048x1320.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200419_161036_wm-1200x773.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cal themed Cotton Candy Pouch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also added a leash.
