Bag University Zipper Boxy Pouch



Sew your own Boxy Zipper Pouch with this easy-to-follow PDF sewing pattern! This has been one of my most requested projects, and it’s perfect for confident beginners who want to practice zippers. These handy pouches make wonderful gifts and are ideal for storing makeup, sewing notions, travel items, or everyday essentials.

The pattern includes step-by-step instructions with photos, cutting measurements for three sizes (small, medium, and large), and helpful tips for getting a professional finish. You can use quilted fabric, add patchwork panels, or try your favorite fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind pouch.

Finished Sizes:
• Small: approx. 8" x 3" x 2½"
• Medium: approx. 8½" x 3½" x 3"
• Large: approx. 9" x 4" x 3½"
