Available in three sizes, Drop Zone is a multipurpose zippered pouch that opens up to create a shallow tray that provides great visibility and easy access to contents.  These zippered pouch trays are great for storing a variety of smaller items, such as your sewing notions, craft supplies, art tools and more.  The grab tabs on the pouch make opening and closing a breeze, and the optional hardware on one end may be used to attach a strap or other object.

Please Note: In class we will be making the medium sized zipper pouch tray. Once you learn how to make the medium sized you'll have the confidence to make any of the other sizes offered at home.

Finished Dimensions:

• Small: 2-1/2" H x 5" W x 5" D when open; 2½"H x 5"W x 2½"D when closed 
• Medium: 2-1/2" H x 7" W x 5" D when open; 2½"H x 7"W x 2½"D when closed
