Elmore Zipper Pouch

$4.95

A simple to sew zipper pouch with one zipper but three pockets. Easy-sew zipper install, ideal for beginners.

Description

This easy zipper pouch is Fat Quarter friendly, a quick project, and requires no measuring, printing or pattern pieces. Open up the top zipper and there are three pockets inside, two large and one small. The long zipper allows the bag to open really wide so it’s easy to see what’s inside.

Use it as a simple clutch bag, or for keeping cosmetics, jewelry, sewing supplies, or pens. Big enough to hold your phone, some cards or cash, and a lipstick and keys for date night.

Itā€™s an ideal project for those who might be new to sewing zippers, because you get to see the zipper and adjust it as you sew for a nice straight finish. Use basting tape to get it perfect!

Recommended materials for the Elmore Zipper Pouch sewing pattern

This pouch can be sewn with any light to medium weight non-stretch fabrics. I recommend quilting weight cottons, but even old cotton bedsheets and pillow cases or old shirts can be cut up and used to sew these easy zipper bags.Ā More experienced sewers can use fancy fabrics such as silk, satin or crepe de chine. These fabrics can be very floaty and slippery and are not easy to work with if you are a beginner, but can make gorgeous and luxurious bags that are ideal for evening bags or storing special items.

Materials needed:

Outer fabric – 1 fat quarter
Lining fabric – 1 fat quarter
Woven interfacing (such as SF101, 20 inches wide) – 1/3rd of a yard/metre
1 x Regular closed end zipper, 10 inches or longer
