Valentine Pouch Reviewed by Carol Hunjadi on 2013-02-11
If only you would have sent this pattern earlier! I have two granddaughters that I could have used this little bag for their nail polish and Milk Duds.
Really cute! Will save pattern for next year or make it in different colors for gift card holders for their birthdays and Christmas.
Thanks for your lovely ideas.
