When I thought about a practical pouch to put my makeup in, I wanted it to stand up easily without collapsing when opened. I also wanted to be able to use the materials we sell in-store, so you can find everything you need in one place. So I drew a pattern for my ideal pouch, we tested it, and I am now offering it to you as a gift!
We have also added a "Colorblock" version to the pattern, which we do not explain here, but it is very simple to make. If needed, send us a message!
You need:
- 1/4 m de canvas, quilt cotton, poplin, coated cotton, or other non-stretch fabric for the outside of the pouch
- 1/4 m de canevas, quilt cotton, poplin, coated cotton, or other non-stretch fabric for the inside of the pouch
- 1/2 m of non-woven interfacing, like the Pellon 973F
- 1 30 cm zipper
