Just to remind you, this zipper pouch is lined. It's colorful - as much as you choose it to be. And it's easy to make. A great beginner sewing combination!

Free Zipper Pouch Pattern

Dear sewing friends, it just wouldn't be fair to keep you waiting any longer: I've finally transferred my zipper pouch template into a PDF form and I'm giving it to you for FREE. {Thanks to those who asked for the pdf, you're my inspiration!} You can get it in my shop for free.

At first, there was only one size, but now I've expanded and improved both the pattern and the tutorial. These are the current sizes:

4 Finished Sizes

People really love sewing sweet little things like this pouch. It's amazing, how quickly this new pattern took off! Here are two reasons why you'll love it too:

1) The most versatile size of all I've tried. (And my favorite!)

It's a great, universal size for storing anything, from crafting bits and pieces to keys and documents. A perfectly sized pencil pouch, just right for all those colored pencils that are lying around the house. (Kids!) Or, you can easily turn it into a cosmetic bag to hold makeup (just the right size for your on-the-go mascara!).

You can even store sewing accessories in them. Buttons! Ribbons! Makes a great emergency set of sewing supplies for when you travel somewhere.

2) Makes a perfect holiday gift.

There's nothing better than a gift that looks totally stylish but it's so easy to make! And this zipper case is just that.

And guess what, now's the perfect time to make a few early Christmas presents for your loved ones!  Use the free PDF pattern as many times you wish, sew one for you and one for each of your friends and family members. Trust me, it feels soooo good when you know you've got all your homemade gifts ready - before December even starts!
