I started with my scrap pile and pulled a few random bits and pieces to improv piece together. I then quilted my improv panels with straight lines and turned them into a simple pouch for my kindle. Of course, I used my favourite open wide pouch tutorial from Noodlehead, except that I didn't box the corners and I didn't use any measurements.
Putting the zipper in took me far longer than it should (I sewed it facing into the lining, twice), but now that the pouch is done. I really love it. The cute little bunny zipper pull just adds to it and having a little something handmade in my handbag makes me happy.
Tell me - do you like to have a little handmade goodness in your life too?

Such a great pouch. I feel your pain, the day jobs takes up way too much time! I made pillows the last couple of weekends for the instant gratification.
Yes. I find making quick and easy projects are fun and satisfying as it takes a lot of time to make the bugger projects. Great to have little gifts around for birthdays and "just because" gifts.
Always have something handmade within reach. My cell phone case I crocheted, all my baby's blankets are made by me, most of my throws are homemade and I love having my stuff everywhere.
Love the bunny. The instant gratification and having something handmade close by is exactlt why I love making bags
Love the Kindle bag - great for on the plane. I find i am always making cute little things as gifts and not for me! On Tuesday after work I made a drawstring bag from tutorial just to carry your Fox Field Fabric out to show Helen :-)
A very cute kindle bag. I am all for finding quick projects as well, just to feel like after a hard week at work I had time for myself. I am thinking of a make up bag for business trips..
Just lovely, Adrianne! Do you have a source for such cute zipper pulls?
It is fabulous and I never thought about making that tutorial without the box corners! I have to say that the bunny pull tab just makes it PERFECT!
