Tutorial: Cat-Eye Zippered Pouch

Sherri from Thread Riding Hood shares a free pattern for making her Cat-Eye Zippered Pouch. It gets its name from the cat-eye shape of the window on the front of the pouch.  This is such a neat detail!  The cat-eye gives a peek at a contrast under layer.  You can have fun mixing print and pattern for that.  She includes a fussy cut guide to help you achieve a perfectly placed motif in that cat-eye window.

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.
