Patchwork Pouch – Pre-cut Friendly Pattern
How to Make a Patchwork Pouch
This pouch is a perfect size for holding all kinds of essentials. It measures 10” by 8 1/4,” and the bottom is 2” deep. You can use any fabric scraps you have on hand, but it works especially well with pre-cuts like mini charm packs (2 1/2” squares) or charm packs (5” squares). You’ll also need fabric for the lining and the materials listed below.
