Make Perfect Little Pouches Every Time

Posted By Joan Hawley On February 2, 2009 @ 6:40 am In Perfect Pouches Pattern | 21 Comments

Lazies, Every time I make myself a purse, I make two coordinating accessories from the left over fabrics. A Wonder Wallet – which you’ve heard me go on and on about. And a Perfect Pouches small sized pouch – which I realize I haven’t told you much about.

There are two main things I want you to know about this little design.

The Zipper!
The zipper installation is to die for.  It’s one of those oh-my-gosh things. So simple and easy, perfect every time. It’s a great starter project for the zipper-phobe in you. Complete instructions are in the Perfect Pouches pattern #LGD113 [3]. It’s the same installation used in the Runaround Bag design.

Perfect for so many things
Next, it’s a great all-purpose zip pouch. Think of it as an extra pocket. I like the ‘small’ size which is approximately 5″ x 7″. It’s perfect for keeping some of the smaller items in my purse together. It’s wonderful for my small digital camera. Or use it to keep all those pesky phone/camera cords and wires together.

They are great for small hand projects. I keep one loaded with my Clover Yo-Yo maker and supplies.

I use the largest sized pouches for travel to keep things together and tidy in my luggage.

I made these pouches when I made the Mini Miranda below. You might remember her from an earlier blog post.

Lazies, I’m in transit today, with my Perfect Pouches in my luggage, my carry-on bag, and my purse. So the blog is on auto-pilot and I’ll get to your comments when I get home tonight.

Enjoy!
Joan
