Tutorial: 15-minute zipper pouch

Zippered pouches are one of the most versatile and practical handmade gifts you can make. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy project to work on in your free time or you’re in need of a last-minute gift idea, a zippered pouch is a great choice. With so many different uses, from carrying your makeup and toiletries to holding your small electronics, you can never have enough of these handy little pouches.

Melissa from Melly Sews has shared a tutorial for a basic zippered pouch that you can make in just 15 minutes! This is the perfect project for beginner sewers, as it requires only basic sewing skills and materials. You can personalize your pouch by choosing your favorite fabric or adding a simple embellishment to make it unique. Whether you’re using bright and bold prints or soft and neutral tones, the possibilities are endless.

Zippered pouches also make great gifts for just about anyone on your list. They’re perfect for kids to use as pencil cases, for moms to carry their essentials in their purse, or for travelers to keep their travel documents organized. You can even make them in bulk and give them away as party favors or teacher gifts.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
