Today I’m going to show you how to take a Simple Zip Pouch Sewing Pattern and make minor modifications to get three totally different zippered pouches. If you like this project then you may also like this Curved Top Zip Pouch Sewing Pattern.
The pouches I’m showing you today are sewn from my most recent fabric line with Riley Blake, Wonderland. If you’ve been reading this blog for a little while then you know that I adore making zip pouches, I make them all the time. Sometimes I tell myself that I should try to make something else, but that doesn’t seem to last long. These little zip pouches are just too fun to sew and are so useful. They make great gifts for both adults and kids!
Today we are going to start with one simple pattern and make minor changes to give you 3 different looks.

August 6, 2017 at 9:18 PMDon’t you need to turn under the fabric so raw edge doesn’t show befor sewing in zipper?

March 31, 2019 at 5:08 PMI think I’m missing a part. How do I attach the fusable fleece? The instructions jump from making the front piece to attaching the zipper to a back peice we never worked on. Thanks in advance.
