For my daughters 4th birthday, I decided to make her a pouch that she could hold all of her millions of lip gloss in! I thought it was a good idea, but she doesn't like it because it isn't all pink, so I guess I will be making another one!!! :)
But I still think it is cute, and it wasn't too complicated to make!

You will need :
2 pieces of fabric, one for the outside and one for the lining
1 zipper ( mine was 9 inches long)
So cut your fabric into 11x7 in. pieces
You should have 2 for the outside and 2 for the inside
place your fabric that is going to be on the outside face up and then your zipper face down on top.
Then do it with the other 2 pieces of fabric on the other side
Then when you open it up it should look like this
Then when you open it up it should look like this
Then unzip the zipper half way and take the lining sides and line them up and your outer pieces and line them up, one on top of the other...
like this...and sew all the way around the square, leaving about 2-3 inches at the bottom
Then push the lining down into the pouch and there you have it! I nice little zipper pouch! I hope all those steps made sense!
I took a little sparkly dragonfly and tied it onto the zipper to make it more girly...it wasn't enough obviously!
Maybe I will use it for my make up....I still like princesses!!!
Or maybe we could use it for storing toys????
I don't know, but I think it is cute!!
Oh I think I could actually maybe sew this! Thanks for sharing! I love the butterfly you used on the zipper!
