Clutches + Pouches
Zippered Mini Clutch with Cross Stitch Accents
A beautiful little zippered clutch is the kind of accessory that’s a snap to make and a joy to give (or keep). This version has a chic vintage look thanks to delicate cross stitch machine embroidery in a variety of soft colors.
Adjustable Slimline Waist Pack
Based on one of our most popular “fanny pack” style pouches, we’ve updated both the sample and the instructions to show you how to use lighter-weight fabrics and the proper interfacing to achieve a stylish yet still stable result.
Double Zipper Device Sleeve
We love the idea of concealing a cutting-edge electronic device inside a vintage wrapper. This sleek pouch has three generous pockets to hold a selection of devices; the front pocket is completely sealed with a zipper.
Crossbody Zippered Pouch
We used a modern batik for the exterior, but it’s just a small fabric cut; you may already have something perfect in your stash. Braided yarn straps are secured with side loop channels. And a triple tier tassel accents the zipper.
Velvet Border Portfolio Clutch
Sometimes, you gotta go bold or go home! We created a modern spin on a classic portfolio that makes a wide, decorative ribbon the star of the show as a wraparound feature against a rich solid denim.
Metallic Zipper Pouches
Shine on! These adorable little pouches are made with Oly*Fun™ Metallic: a flexible, synthetic material from Fairfield that doesn’t tear, fray or fade. You can sew it, glue it, staple it, pin it or tie it. We added zippers!
Mini Waist Pack
The “fanny pack” is back. Of course, we felt a new spin was in order for this favorite, on-the-go carryall. Our version has been jazzed up with cool colors and a contrasting zipper, and slimmed down for a sleek look and feel.
Monogrammed Zip Pouch
Little stuff? Zip it up! A zippered pouch is always handy to hold whatever small necessities you need to carry. This one is part of our matched trio of monogrammed travel essentials. The bottom darts add a bit of extra fullness.
Classic Zipper Pouch
This one tutorial gives you all the basics you need to create the first of what will surely be many zipper pouches. Learn how to cut a zipper to size, add end tabs, box the bottom corners, and insert a fully finished lining.
Handy Slip-on + Clip-on Belt Pouch
There are many times you’d rather have two hands free (Look Ma… No hands!) This clever little zippered pouch is a fun solution. It can slip onto a belt or clip onto a belt loop – perfect for urban walkers and more.
Rainbow Zippered Pouches in Two Sizes
Two sizes – tons of uses. Designed to drop into a larger bag or tote, these little pouches are really too pretty to hide! They’re long and slim with a full 12” zippered opening. Use bold mix-and-match scraps + a fun zipper.
Sleek Fabric Wallet with Zippered Coin Pouch
YES, you can make your own fabric wallet! This one features a large center pocket for bills, four smaller slots for credit cards, an exterior zippered pocket for coins, and a wrist strap so it can be carried on its own.
Digital Device Sleeve
Compact and tough, it can hold an iPad and cell phone for Techie Folk, file folders and homework to correct for Teacher Folk or art paper and drawing tools for Artist Folk. It’s a versatile design for any occasion.
See Through Flat Zippered Pouches
We used gorgeous Renaissance Ribbons to hold the zippers in place on these handy 6” x 9” pouches. Clear vinyl on the front lets you easily glance at the contents. There’s even a free pattern to create the rounded corners.
Companion Pouch Set
Two coordinated pouches designed to clip together. Use one or both. Turn them into a mini shoulder bag or ditch the strap and toss one or both into a larger tote. Stash money and cards in one, make-up and extras in the other.
Drop-In Zippered Pouch with Lanyard
It can be super hard to find small items in a big bag. This handy pouch helps you corral your important stuff. Like a leash, simply reach in, grab onto the lanyard, and reel up your mini bag o’ belongings.
Jewel Tone Zippered Pouch Trio
A top zipper with end tabs is one of the easiest zipper installations you can do. This small, medium and large set of posh little pouches combines a luscious, jewel tone satin with a sturdy canvas. Cuts provided for all 3 sizes.
Clean and Simple Clutch
We suggest upholstery fabric scraps to create the appropriate structure for this sleek clutch. The finishing touch is a little bit of bling on the front as an accent over the magnetic clasp. A button is good or try rescued jewelry.
