Sewing pattern: Zip pouch from a candy wrapper

How cute is this little zip pouch made from a candy wrapper! Joan Hawley from Lazy Girl Designs shows how you can make one. Though I’d recommend making a bunch of them because that gives you an excuse to buy lots of candy. And while the outside is made from a candy wrapper, it’s laminated with clear vinyl for durability, and the inside is lined with a ripstop nylon.
