I have my pieces cut for the zippered pouch. The finished size of the pouch should hold a paperback book in theory. I tend to stick a book in my purse for when I have a spare moment, and the pages can get bent when not protected. The embroidery design for "Kimberlee" is from Heart Strings Embroidery a great site that has over 6,000 names digitized in three fonts.
Hint: Use spray temporary adhesive when stitching a design on a piece of fabric smaller than your entire hoop. As a personal preference I always add pins outside my design area to ensure the fabric is secure to the stabilizer. If using pins make sure to check the area your design will cover prior to starting your machine. Here is another look at the hooped fabric prior to stitching out the design.
To make the zippered pouch have more body I am adding a layer of felt between the outside and lining fabrics. I am planning on doing some decorative stitches and the felt layer will help to stabilize the light cottons I am using.
