Sew: 25+ diy zippered pouch ideas

I finally pulled together most of the zippered pouches I have shared on the blog so readers have one easy reference page.

All the styles, fabrics and variations complete with links to the tutorials.

The tutorial is basically the same for each pouch so get out that zipper foot and I guarantee once you make one you’ll be hooked!
