The pattern includes a written pattern and detailed photo instructions showing how to make this zipper pouch. It also has a link to photo tutorial showing how to sew in a zipper and attach lining.

Tunisian Smock Pouch
"The Tunisian Smock Pouch is a cute little pouch with a zipper and a lining. It uses the Tunisian Smock Stitch for wonderful texture and fantastic design. The lining will add a protective layer to keep you items from falling through and getting caught in the yarn. Add a zipper for closure and you'll have a pouch that you can use to keep your things in. For both, the Smock stitch as well as how to sew a zipper to a lining and to crochet, I have video tutorials provided."
Peace Sign Shoulder Bag
This crochet peace sign bag is made for fun! The peace sign shoulder bag is made with the single crochet stitch which eliminates the need for a bag lining. The bag can be made using any yarn ply and the recommended crochet hook size for that ply. The thicker the ply, the larger your bag squares will be. The bag consists of 2 peace sign squares and a shoulder strap that is sewn onto and around the squares. You will need to know how to carry the yarn that is not in use to perfect the peace sign.
