Build a Zip Pouch Tutorial Series

I’m thrilled you found the “Build a Zip Pouch Series”! My goal is to help give you the skills you need to sew custom zip pouches in a variety of styles and sizes. Links will be added to the list below as each tutorial goes live.

Some links will take you to excellent tutorials on other sites. I didn’t see the need to write up something of my own where there are other great crafters out there who have already done it! Links change over time, so please let me know if you click on one that doesn’t work and I’ll remedy it as soon as possible :).

If you see something you’d like me to focus on first or a skill you’d like me to add to the list, send me a message!

I’m excited to sew with you ❤
