I found some more hand painted fabric scraps that had been around for a couple of years or so, and thought about how I could create them into something. There was just enough there to make a zipper pouch. I looked through my stash of zippers and found one in the right colors and size.
I added the hand painted cat after I had the outer fabric quilted, but before constructing the pouch.
I'm not happy with how the bottom of the pouch turned out. I had a heavy fabric stitched there (more scraps) and it doesn't want to play nice. It wants to buckle in the middle where the seam is and not sit flat. Oh well...lesson learned.
