Window Zip Pouch: Guest post and tutorial!


Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that I'm guest posting on the Benartex blog today with a sweet tutorial. Welcome everyone who's here for the first time! I'd love if you looked around, follow me if you like what you see! 

The Window Zip Pouch is a completely lined pouch using a bit of vinyl on the front so you can keep an eye on the stuff you have stashed away! 

I made this pouch with my sister in mind - she loves baking and I think it'd be great for stashing her recipes - she won't forget what she has in there! Alternatively it is the perfect size for a rotary cutter and scissors. 

Thanks to Benartex you all get a chance to win a FQ bundle of these fabrics (Baker's Delight) used in the tutorial! To enter do one or more of the following (3 chances per person).


1. Sign up to follow Benartex's blog, either via email or a blog reader program like Bloglovin' (both on the righthand sidebar of the blog). Leave a comment letting me know you did so. 

2. "Like" Benartex on Facebook and leave a comment letting me know you did so. 
3. Follow Mommy's Nap Time and leave a comment letting me know you did so.

    Great tutorial Emily. I really like having pouches you can see inside like this with the vinyl window.

    I am now following your blog via BlogLovin' but while you mentioned to follow via email, I do not see a way to do that. I do like to follow most of the blogs I read via email so if I am missing this capability, please let me know so I can also sign up for those notification.
    Email is easier for me to stay up to date with most recent posts.

    Anyway, thank you for the wonderful tutorial.

    (also I misread your instructions saying to follow your blog either on BlogLovin' or email or both. I would love to see you add the email capability to follow since it appears you do not have that option for your blog. Sorry for reading this wrong as you will realize upon seeing my first comment made)
