In reply to Pepper. I am sorry that I am not able to help in answering this question. I bought this fabric many years ago and I can't even remember where I got it from.

Thanks Joanne for all the hard work that goes into sharing great content with us. We appreciate it. this has moved onto my list to make. And I have a friend in mind that I think I’d like to make it for and she loves cats. Any chance you still know the manufacture or powder name to try to get the same fabric? I’ve done a reverse google image search and it’s coming up empty

In reply to Lily Fung. I just wanted to say thank you for putting together such a well-explained tutorial. I'm impressed by the way you really broke down the steps and your wording was consise and I imagine would be easy enough for a beginner to follow. It's clear you put a good deal of effort into your tutorial, and it's much appreciated. Now, I'm off to make my own as a pouch to hold my vaping cartridges. Thanks again.

In reply to Lily Fung. Yes, you may adapt the pattern with bias tape.

Can I finish the edges with bias tape instead pipping?

In reply to Glory. Hi Glory, the bottom and top of the gusset are not closed. If you worried that small items will slip out fro the bottom of the gusset, you may hand stitch to close it.

So is the side gusset not stitched into the bag? Since it is sewn a little above the edge of the zipper ends and not at the edge of the zipper, when the bag is done is the side gusset not closed?

In reply to Wendy Farkas.

Hi Wendy,
Glad that you have found your way out before I have the answer for you. Please print the pattern in “No Scale” size and it will give you the original dimension for pencil case.

Figured it out – sts near top of zipper were to tack the zipper tape together above the zipper stop.

Then I realized I had printed the pattern out incorrectly. Pieces were too small because the printer option used had been set to “scale to fit Entire Paper”. When I changed it to “Print entire image”, the pieces enlarged to a more appropriate size.

So start over, but no problem, I still think it a beautiful design and I look forward to working through your instructions. Gotta go cut more pieces …
