I am still perfecting the pattern for the zippered pouch with zippered pocket divider. Every time I stitch one, I find something that needs improvement. I love the wide bottom and the fusible fleece fused onto fabric gives the perfect body. Now I have to stitch some cherries - from the same collection - Sakura Park by Sentimental Studios for Moda.
