The Zippy Circle Pouch - £6+VAT

Calling all beginners! This pattern has been put together with you in mind. It may look complicated, but uses simple techniques to get great results.

If you are looking for something to make for craft fairs or as gifts, the Zippy Circle Pouch is for you! This pouch is called zippy for two reasons. The first should be obvious (it has a zip!), but the second is because this pattern is designed for you to get a great finish, quickly. The pieces are all graded for a perfect fit, and I show you my favourite techniques for sewing with circles. Oh, and it has a grown on self-binding, to get a really neat finish inside! What’s not to love!

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.

  • All of the pattern pieces are subtly different sizes, to ensure a perfect fit
