Well, I now hearby declare this fear CONQUERED! I no longer have to use the seam ripper with lots of pretty expletives. I didn't even have to double check the instructions on this particular pattern. I'm so happy with myself! *insert happy dance here!*
As for the project itself, I've been in need of a nice looking zipper pouch at work to carry feminine necessities at work. I did a bit of stash busting and came up with these fabrics. The zipper was waiting so I just jumped into the project using this tutorial on Javajem but I left off the wrist strap which isn't me at at all.
The main exterior fabric is the blue flower with bits of green that you see at the top and I used the accent fabric to line the inside. For me, it might have been a bit of pattern overload (I'm pattern timid.) but I'm still happy with it regardless. :D

I absolutely understand the zipper fear! I have two pillow covers I want to make. Super easy, right?? Well my zipper phobia is currently preventing me from making them. I've been trying to think of cute ways to make them without zippers... I am a master craft cheater, but I think I'm gonna have to do what you've done, and just get over it!
I think it's totally cute. I love patterns together. The zipper looks excellent. Congratulations!
I pinned this to my sewing board - zippers still conquer me!
Great job T! I am determined to get over my fear of zippers too! I just set my first one on, but it's not opening easily now...I'm going to have to figure out what I did wrong! hah.
Love the fabrics! They are a great pair. This came out beautiful!
It looks fabulous!
