Zipper Bag Patterns

I cannot resist a lovely zipper pouch. Ever. They are so much fun to make! Also, useful to store so many things, from pencils to sewing needle boxes, those grocery coupons, or essential makeup to grab and go. After I've made quite a few zipper bag patterns (and even more that I haven't even posted yet!) I think it's a good idea to collect a few of my favorite ones in one place, that is here.

So I thought it would be fun to share a few free zipper bag patterns for inspiration. Have fun sewing!
