Boxed Zipper Pouch Tutorial

This boxed zipper pouch tutorial is easy to follow and the pouch is useful for so many things! Use the pouch to phone cords, pencils, makeup and more! A big thanks to Kelby Sews for such a great tutorial!

Don’t you love when you find a new go-to pattern? This boxed zipper pouch tutorial  is just that for me. So quick and easy to make and something that I think every lady would love to have. A great little project to use up scrap fabrics too.

I had left over fabric from this quilt and it was just enough to make 3 pouches to the kids’ teachers for Teacher’s Appreciation Day.

My fabric was thin so  I quilted it with a layer of batting before adding the lining because…well, I love quilting. But that isn’t necessary. A sturdy cotton with interfacing or home decor fabric would work great too! The pouch is 5″ wide and 9″ long so it is perfect to use for a make-up bag or for school supplies.

At first I was going to line it with white fabric, but then I thought that this purple would be a better fit and not show stains. And I kind of love it!

My 6 year old absolutely loves EOS lip balm so I thought she would like to give her teacher some too. I found these 4 pack gift sets (3 balls and 1 stick lip balm) online and ordered enough to put one in each bag. Now all we need to do is add a card. I absolutely adore my kids’ teachers this year and wanted to give them something thoughtful, but practical. Not just another thing to clutter up their desk. Now I think I need to make a few more of these pouches to keep on hand for quick gifts!

A big thank you to Kelby sews for this easy to follow Boxed Zipper Pouch Tutorial!  I made another one to give as a baby shower gift and it was a huge hit with the new momma! We filled it with travel baby supplies to keep in her diaper bag!
