This simple, single-pocket carryall pouch comes in 3 different sizes. Minimal and sleek, it's perfect for carrying around your basics. The small version can easily be slipped into a pocket, and the wide size can be used as a minimalistic clutch.

It only takes a small amount of fabric to make this single-pocket pouch, so it's a great pattern for using up your fabric scraps. And each one only takes about 30 minutes (or less!) to make so you can make one in every color and print!

    Thank you for such a clean and sleek pattern. Im having blast making the small size and now Im trying out the wide version. I noticed on the patterns that you placed a grain line, however I was wondering if it matters if youโ€™re using fusible fleece. Since the fabric is being supported, is it vital I follow the grain?

      Ashley hi,
      a great question. In this case nothing will go wrong if you place the pattern at 90 degree - meaning that placement of the pattern pieces on either straight grain or cross grain are both ok. Just make sure not to place it on the bias, the finished pouch could look distorted. Hope this makes sense, and - happy sewing! xoxo, damjana
