The triple Zip Pouch!

I was visiting some of my favorite blogs and discovered that many of them are participating to a Triple Zip Along, when I saw the beautiful creations they have done, I decided to participate.
In this sew along we will create a pouch with three zippers, I love the idea. The instructions are on Debbie's blog, "A quilter's table" and are excellent.

Here is the one I did

I tried to combine this Triple sew along with a course I took in craftsy, and that is why I finished this project, almost at the last minute, let me tell you.
The first step in this triple pouch is choosing fabrics, I started selecting these fabrics.

But I was taking an online course in Craftsy, the course is called Stupendous Stitching with Carol Ann Waugh.A course that fills us with inspiration, I'll write here her description of the course:

Set your sewing machine and imagination free in this fun exploration of embroidery designs, decorative sewing machine stitches, couching and binding. In Stupendous Stitching, you’ll learn how to incorporate all kinds of stitches into your next fiber art project.

Here I give you the link in case any of you want to have more information.

Was thus that I decided transform one of my fabrics:

from this

to this

My final selection of fabrics for making my pouch

It is not necessary to participate in this Triple sew along to get the tutorial, here I'll give you links to Debbie's blog.
The tutorial is divided into three parts

The first part is here

The second part is here

The third part is here

and thanks to the collaboration of Marci from Marci Girl Design, there is now a new tutorial where she explains a different way to finish up those pouches
here is the link

The first tutorial to make this triple zip pouch was made by Debbie last year and always left me wanting to participate, the link to the first tutorial, complete, all in one post is here on her blog A Quilter's table

What I did was print the first tutorial she has done in August last year, and then complete all the information with the other three tutorials that she created this year.

The flickr group where all participants are adding their photos are here

I can assure you that you are going to be delighted watching all these beautiful creations, you will find not just any photos, there are also discussions, links to other sites, really interesting to visit.

I think I have given a lot of information, I hope you find it useful.
Here I leave you with more pictures of my triple zip pouch.
