Sewing pattern: Clippie Zippie clear front zip pouches

Caroline from Sew Can She shares a free pattern and tutorial for making these handy little Clippy Zippies. The little pouches are great for holding school supplies, sewing notions, make-up or toiletries, or any other of the small things we need to keep organized. Give them a clear vinyl or mesh front so you can see what’s s inside! She made a bunch to give as teacher gifts, but they’re good for so many other purposes as well.
