Skinny Lined Zipper Pouch
Author: Notches Sewing
This lined zipper pouch is perfect for holding 24 pencils, small essentials, or even credit cards, thanks to its wide and practical design. The clever raised zipper opens flat like a tray, so you can easily see and grab what you need.
Optional tabs make it easy to open and close, and there’s space to add a keyring or carabiner for on-the-go convenience. This thoughtful and functional project by Notches Sewing, is fun to make for yourself or a practical gift for others!
Finished Size: Approx. 3” x 9¾” (7.6cm x 25cm)
