Everyday Travel Pouch - £6+VAT

If you love to travel, then you need to make the Everyday Travel Pouch! It has pockets for everything you need to get through the airport, and it’s small enough to take around with you while you take in the sights. Or you can use it everyday, on your daily commute.

Pocket 1 – a slip pocket with a flap to hold your passport

Pocket 2 – a zip pocket to hold your travel cards, cash cards, train tickets and coins

Pocket 3 – a slip pocket sized to fit a boarding pass, concert tickets, or longer travel tickets

Pocket 4 – a vertical zip pocket to hold your currency, notes, or bills

Pocket 5 – this one is in the middle, and it’s for your phone!

This pattern has a full tutorial video, which follows along each step. It is free to watch on YouTube. You can watch it here.

This is a downloadable PDF pattern sent to your email, not a physical product, and cannot be refunded once purchased.

  This little travel pouch has even more going for it:

  • You can use RFID fabric if you choose, to keep your belongings safe from being scanned

  • You can choose to make a cross-body strap or a neck strap
