Free pattern: Cat-Eye Zippered Pouch

Tutorial: Cat-Eye Zippered Pouch

Sherri from Thread Riding Hood shares a free pattern for making her Cat-Eye Zippered Pouch. It gets its name from the cat-eye shape of the window on the front of the pouch. This is such a neat detail! The cat-eye gives a peek at a contrast under layer. You can have fun mixing print and pattern for that. She includes a fussy cut guide to help you achieve a perfectly placed motif in that cat-eye window.
