Fay from Monkey Makes Three shares a tutorial showing how to make a zippered key fob pouch. It’s an itty bitty zippered pouch, but it’s big enough to hold a tube of lip gloss, or perhaps a flash drive, or a house key, or a bit of emergency money. Finished dimensions are 3 1/4″ L x 2″ W x 1″ D. It even has itty bitty boxed corners! They’d make great Christmas gifties. Go to Monkey Makes Three to see how to make one.

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.
