Zipper box pouches are so useful to carry around to put small miscellaneous things in. Whether it’s to throw in a big purse or for traveling. Plus, it’s great to have and keep organized if you don’t already have one. Also, it’s great as storage for makeup or a pencil pouch. I love this pouch because I have bought a few of them in the past, but I would love to sew my own zipper box pouch. I love the fabric design that Keiko Olsson Sewing Channel used in this video. This zipper box pouch is colorful. Keiko Olsson Sewing Channel does a great job with detailed instructions on the screen and there are no instructions left out. I would love to make this pouch for my mom because she constantly buys small pouches at the stores.
Materials:
- – Front fabric 28cm x 17 cm ［11″ x 6.7″］(x2)
- – Lining (same as front)
- – Interfacing.
- – 8cm［3”］ square fabric (x2)
- – Bias tape or piece of lining fabric
- – 25 cm［10”］ zipper
- iron
- sewing machine
- scissors
- ruler
Directions:
First, place the front fabrics on top of each other and sew 1 cm from the bottom to attach them together. Leave 5mm and cut a straight line across under the area where it’s sowed. Layout the fabric with the design facing down and iron the interfacing on the backside of the front fabric.
Next, follow along the rest of Keiko Olsson Sewing Channel tutorial on YouTube to finish sewing a zipper box pouch.
Overall, this is a great pouch to sew that is convenient to use for anything. I know some pouches can be pricey, but save a couple of bucks and create your own. This would be a great gift to make for someone especially if you use their favorite color or fabric design.
