Note to self: don't skimp on the edges!

I made a zipper pouch bag today.  I used the Kawandi method, except to reduce bulk, I did not turn the edges to make a binding.  In fact, I did not take my fabrics clear to the edge, which was a mistake.  It caused me to have to trim my front and back, thus removing or obscuring part of the design, especially when I made the gussets.

This is the second side and not getting that green piece on the lower right, made me have to make a wider seam across the bottom.  Wah!

Photo of the front and back.  The gussets obscured that dark purple strip running across the bottom of the front part of the bag.  Oh, well.  It is just a zipper bag, and I know I am not supposed to point out my problems/happy little mistakes.

My finished Kawandi zipper bag looks pretty sweet!  I could have made it gussetless, but where is the fun in that?

This is the back of the bag, if there is such a thing.  For some reason I just love that gray with yellow polka-dot fabric (and of course, the little chicks!)
