If you’ve ever searched for how to sew a zipper pouch and found yourself stuck with raw seams, hand sewing, or awkward bias tape, you’re not alone. One of the most common frustrations for beginner and intermediate sewists is finding a project that actually finishes neatly — without the stress.
That’s exactly why I put together this new Boxed Zipper Pouch Tutorial.
Why this pouch is different
There’s no turning gap to close. No binding to wrestle with. No raw seams left inside.
Instead, the boxed zipper pouch uses a clever construction method that finishes everything cleanly on the machine. The inside is fully lined, the corners are crisp, and the zip goes in with confidence. It’s one of those makes that looks more advanced than it is — which is always satisfying!
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes — with a few gentle challenges. It’s ideal for confident beginners who are happy sewing straight seams and ready to tackle a zip. There’s no pattern template to print. You simply measure and cut a few rectangles, follow the photo instructions, and you’re off.
If you’ve made a cushion or a basic pouch before, you’ll be more than ready for this lined zipper pouch.
What can I use it for?
These boxed pouches make brilliant handmade gifts.
They’re a great size for:
- Toiletries or makeup
- Cables and chargers
- Craft supplies or sewing tools
- Pens, snacks, plasters — you name it
They’re also a rare pouch pattern that works for men too, especially in plain fabrics, denim, or something a bit rugged.
