Hello, welcome everyone!
I have a new pattern to share with you today :)
This Boxy Tool Pouch has been on my mind for way too long and it feels fantastic to have the pattern all finished. What do you think?
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: (tall x wide x deep)
SMALL – 2'' x 5'' x 2 ½''
MEDIUM - 2 ½'' x 6 ½'' x 3''
LARGE - 3'' x 8'' x 4''
I am quite a fan of boxy pouches (especially when they come in different sized) and have already been using quite a few of them daily.
Just like many of you, I don't like seeing any exposed or raw edges when I make my pouches. So, after doing a bit of testing of different techniques, I decided adding fabric binding to finish inner edges was the way to go. This technique makes for a pretty easy pouch assembly and bound edges add extra stability and structure to a finished pouch, definitely a win - win.
See? I love how beautifully boxy they are :)
This middle size is absolutely perfect as a pencil pouch or make up bag.
I think the handle makes these cuties super practical.
