A handy little pouch that's cleverly constructed and useful to boot? Yes please! In this Creativebug class, you’ll learn how to draft your very own vintage-inspired accordion pouch from scratch, then sew it together step by step. With its layered compartments and compact design, this project is as functional as it is fun to make. The finished pouch is perfect for travel, or for keeping your favorite jewelry, sewing notions, or tiny treasures organized at home. Get ready to stitch up something both charming and practical!
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • One piece of lightweight but sturdy fabric cut to 2 1/2" x 18" for the tie
  • Two pieces cut to 30 1/2" x 12 1/2" for the outside and lining of the pouch 
  • Fabric marking pen
  • Scissors
  • Rotary cutter and cutting mat
  • Pins
  • Quilting ruler (long one is necessary, square 12 1/2" is nice to have)
  • One yard of acrylic yarn
  • A pokey tool like a pencil or point turner for pushing out corners
  • Sewing machine and coordinating thread
  • Iron and ironing surface

I'm eager to make my own now! I love making these small but intricate gifts, not just for myself, but to give to others who I know will enjoy them. Thank you so much!

A fun way to spend an afternoon. The resulting little pouch is so fun to see come together! I'd been trying to find a very simple jewelry pouch that didn't result in a tangled mess or take up room in my suitcase. This little guy is perfect.
