Sewing pattern: Period supplies pouch for teen girls

If you have a teen girl in your house, a period bag is a back-to-school essential. Imagine being a teen and having to keep your period supplies with you at school. You don’t want that stuff just floating around in your backpack! Especially if your school has a clear or mesh backpack policy! Yikes!! What you need is a cute little pouch to keep in your backpack where all those supplies can be kept. Gemia from Phat Quarters has a tutorial showing how you can make a period bag. The little zip pouch will keep all those supplies handy but out of the way of prying eyes. And because accidents do occur, the bag has a waterproof lining and is big enough to hold a spare pair of undies.
