patchwork pouch

its been ages since i made these. the last i made was in Dec-07 when i was selling my handmade goodies on etsy. now, i am doing these for Belle Maison Zakka. :D

anyway, i prepared the hexagon pieces for 6 pouches during my last shanghai trip. its now work in progress waiting to be finished. each of the hexagon pieces have been individually made, then handsew together into a patchwork. here's the first one of it....

everything is perfect way until the last part - the ZIPPER! somehow, i cant zip it fullY!!! grrrrrrr!! i could re-do the zipper but it involves alot of unstitching and stitching.. soooooo .. instead of selling it, i will use it for my own!
