Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
With school starting soon, many of us will be stocking up on juice pouches for kids’ lunches. Care from Obsessively Stitching shows how you can turn an empty juice pouch into a little zippered coin purse. So very cool!! Go to the tutorial.

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.
dumb question: how to you wash out the juice from the pouch so you can make this?
Actually my mom cut the side and washed by hand and air dried 🙂 we r in the middle of making a purse one !!
