Thanks for a very cute project. This will be great to use up some Zen Chic scraps. So many good tips in this tutorial.

Great explanations. Thank you for telling us the reason for the smaller stabilizer. And thanks for the idea of hiding the turn around under the pocket. Gives us another secret pocket too!
