Zippered Pouches

I’ve been meaning to write this post up for a while now… about some of the zippered pouches that I have been given, bought and made recently…
I think I’ve told you that I used to be scared of zips… but not anymore! In fact I love working with them! I also love seeing what other people do with them 🙂
At the moment I seem to be collecting zippered pouches…. because I like to put STUFF in them! And I do have a lot of stuff…… mostly sewing, of course, as I have discovered while I have been packing and sorting the past week…
Here are a few that I have collected over the past year:
This cute zippered pouch was given to me last year by friend in Oz who has a beautiful embroidery machine:
It’s all done in the hoop… and is only one of the many designs she makes for sale…
The next one I bought from her during my last visit “home”:
I just fell in love with it!
This one I bought when we had a little fundraising auction for Breast Cancer – it’s made by a friend of mine here in Arabia:
If I hadn’t have managed to get it in the auction, I would have asked her to make another one for me 🙂
Now I do have an embroidery module for Nina, but I haven’t had time to get it all set up and working… so when I had the urge to make some zippered pouches of my own the other day, I decided to just grab some scraps and have a go…
I came up with this one first:
I was quite pleased with how it came out.. but then decided that it really needed another zip there where the two bottom fabrics meet…. so with a scrap piece of paper, lots of scribbles, pins, sewing and measuring later I came up with this:
Remember the fabric? I got it for dog sitting in the summer…
I quite like the end result. I am planning on doing a tutorial on both of them. The first zippered pouch was quite easy, the second a bit more fiddly… but I do want to make more… I’ve already been using both of the ones above that I finished.. and I have fabric cut out ready to make more… 🙂
Imagine, however, how much fun I am going to have when I do finally get Nina set up with the embroidery module…!!!
Anyone else out there who loves zippered pouches?
PS I’m linking up to Finish it Friday & Whoop Whoop!
Just what I need for a recent purchase for my trip!! They look great.
Love the zipper pouch with the sewing machine and the fabric used for your zipper pouch Joy. I also love making them. They are quick, handy for storing all sorts of things and great gifts. I made a lot of fabric dog leads in very bright colours this year for our craft group to sell at our annual craft show in Bonegilla, Victoria. I made a matching zipper bag for each lead that attached with a tab that has a buttonhole and button. The bag was sufficient in size to store the lead when not in use and when in use to carry items such as pooper bags, mobile phone, money etc. they proved very popular. Just another idea for a zipper pouch. Xx
Zippered pouches are great. Love them. Yours look wonderful. Hugs,xx
What lovely zippered pouches–each one has it ‘s own ‘theme’ and is very pretty and useful–
think the idea of the 2 zippers a good one–
I have made things with zippers and my biggest issue is the ends of them–they are always bulky looking–so I will be ready for your posting on making them!!
enjoy, di
They’re all so cute! I’m still afraid of zips, so I’ll be watching for your tutorial.
Lovely zippy bags …. can never have too many. You will enjoy making some up – from memory you have a few zips that need using?????

A great assortment of zippered pouches. I like your addition of the added zipper. Are they invisible zippers? I keep seeing fabulous examples of items made with embroidery machines – the Converse zippered pouch. I’m getting closer to getting one.
You can never have too many zippered pouches!!! I’ve made some that I use for toiletry and cosmetic bags, as well as all lots for storing sewing bits and pieces. I think many of us are scared of zips, till we try them.
They look lovely, both your own & the bought ones. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
These look great – the ones you bought AND the ones you’ve made yourself. Such a handy size 🙂
Zippered pouches are SUCH a good use of small bits of fabric!! You did a great job on the ones you made. Best of luck with your tutorial.
It has been a while since I made a zippered pouch. The ones from your friend in Oz are beautiful and so professionally made! But I love the others too. I’ll be looking for your tutorial for the double zippered one.
