My first attempt at sewing a zippered case turned out pretty well! I used these instructions from design*sponge and found them relatively easy to follow. There was only one point towards the end where I got confused- how are you supposed to turn the case right side out when it's zippered shut and the zipper is on the inside? I was able to get the zipper open a little by pulling it through the fabric. I must've made a mistake at some point, but couldn't figure out where. I used a hot pink slightly nubby linen for the outside and a striped cotton for the lining. With the green zipper it makes me think of watermelons =).
