11 1/2" w x 5 3/4" h

Pattern Price: $9.00

NOTE:  For a variation on the inside pocket, make a small Perfect Pouches #113 without the batting.  Sew in place by topstitching close to the edge on both side edges and the bottom edge.  This will leave the top edge free, creating a second pocket behind the pouch.  If needed, reinforce the lining fabric with some interfacing or an extra piece of fabric.  Don’t forget to add something fun to the zipper pull.
