Make a fold-over, zipper clutch and zipper pouch in this full day, sewing workshop. Learn how to create functional, fun and fashionable accessories while mastering sewing zippers. These designs are quick to sew up for when you need to make a handmade gift, a clutch to match an outfit or to use up some small fabric pieces.

You will make a small, flat-based pouch, approximately 20 x 14 cm. Our pattern is for a fully lined, zipper pouch for a neat, professional finish, and you can also add a small pocket on the inside. The perfect zipper pouch for anything – keepsakes, make up, sewing tools, jewellery and more.

Make it casual or dressy, it is approximately 24 x 16.5 cm folded and 24 x 29 cm flat. You can choose to arrange your fabric in a few different designs. It is fully lined to teach you professional, finishing techniques.
You will need to bring along your own choice of fabrics and matching zippers. All patterns and heavy, sew-in interfacing is provided.
