That was a mistake, but I didn&#8217;t write down the parts that I made larger on the second one. Thus, I didn&#8217;t remember I kept some parts the same, which was part of the problem with the first one.<\/p>\n<p>I love the strap technique!!!<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the back is quite boring&nbsp; without the waves. I could have fussy cut something, but was at Tim&#8217;s and didn&#8217;t have a lot of fabric choices. I really want to get this pattern to be more stuck in my brain. I have to make a few more and think of some different embellishments for the front.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71881\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260804_191616_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-71881\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260804_191616_wm-sm-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"3 pouches ~ Metro Double Zip\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260804_191616_wm-sm-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260804_191616_wm-sm-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260804_191616_wm-sm.jpg 997w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3 pouches ~ Metro Double Zip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While I was looking for something I found a similar pouch I received as a gift from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayareamodernquilting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BAM<\/a>.
