The One where I only managed 15 minutes of sewing

After 44 hours of work last week (two school and two teaching gigs) I was then out at a family do all Saturday, and mostly tidying up and putting away today . . . but a girl has to do some sewing in the week!

I picked up some Chinese indigo dyed fabric from a speaker at Richmond & Kew quilters last month (Jennifer Hughes) and had a recent delivery of zips from the Zipit lady so I had a play, and 15 minutes later had this finished

I expect my thumb will eventually be clean!

 The weather at the family party was alternating tropical rain and brilliant sunshine- thank goodness for gazebos!

 Some family pics: (specially for Jackie)

    Lovely family photos, Benta - that's a lotta peeps in the "everyone" photo!
    How'd you manage to finish off a double zip pouch in 15 minutes? It takes me that long to pick a zipper - let alone TWO zippers - let alone fabric as well! That indigo dyed fabric is LUSH - I've been investigating dying fabric (oops - typo there - dyeing ... but dying is funnier, LOL) and was looking at indigo dye today @ Amazon and Joanns, lol. Obviously GMTA ;)

    Liking the pouch and so impressed it was done so quickly, wonder if the pattern is available to those of us who do not know how to make one?
