DIY Pouch w/ Zipper Tabs + YouTube Tutorial

Hello All!

Don’t you just love a cute zipper pouch? Zipper pouches can be made with any type of fabric and the designs can be amazing! The one thing that was missing from my zipper pouches is zipper tabs. Zipper tabs add that extra design layer and you can keep it simple or add some flare. If you want to learn how to sew a pouch with zipper tabs, I created the step by step video tutorial below. You can also find the template for the zipper pouch here Pouch Pattern.

Tools needed for this project:

  • 1 fat quarter exterior fabric
  • ¼ yard woven interfacing (Iron interfacing to the exterior and lining pieces)
  • One 5-inch zipper
  • Scissors
  • Iron/Ironing board
  • Sewing machine
  • Coordinating thread
  • Pins or clips

If adding a wristlet strap (Optional)

  • One 1-inch swivel clasp
  • One 1-inch D ring

    I noticed your zipper (including tabs) is shorter than the fabric. This is where I’ve always gone wrong…, what measurements ( other than the 5” zipper) did you use?
    Cheers

      The other measurements are 6.25″.
