Make it Perfect has a really easy tutorial for a zippered pouch. I used some different sizes than she did but it all works out the same. If you have never made a zippered pouch before I suggest you follow her directions.
What I did was to cut two outside pieces of fabric 7 x 8 1/2 and two lining pieces of a separate color 7 x 8 1/2. I also cut a fusible fleece piece 7 x 8 1/2 for the outside only. I didn't want it too stiff but I did want some body to the pouch.
Then you will want a 7 inch zipper in a color that compliments your fabrics.
these are about 5 x 6 |
You can use these zippered pouches for
Made of selvages |
many things: as a make-up bag; as a small item catch all in your purse or gym bag; as gifts if you make different sizes or use coordinating fabrics; as a cute and unique gift bag; as your sewing items bag......I am sure you can think of a ton more uses for these guys.
And you will have several new presents in your Christmas Bag!
