Ooh, it feels good to have a finish!
I made this patchwork pouch as part of a birthday package for my dear friend, Valerie.
I used the Noodlehead open wide zipper pouch tutorial for the medium size with a couple of modifications. First, I made patchwork panels of 1″ squares. For more on that, see this post.
Second, instead of having the zipper hanging out, I made little tabs at each end. That took some trial and error, but I got it in the end.
For the lining, I used a text print from the Quilted Fish’s collection of The Cottage Garden.
I must admit it was hard to let this one go!
Have you seen the leather open wide pouches that Anna made? Now, I need to find some leather so I can make my own!
Linking to Finish It Up Friday!

What a beautiful and happy present! I'm sure your friend will love it. Such lovely work. Always so inspiring!
Love this! Neat lining fabric.
Lovely – great choice of lining fabric!
Great idea using the tiny patchwork. I need to make one of these to keep my makeup in.
my oh my, this pouch turned out cutie cute, Nicole
I love the fancy bottom half too.
Very sweet. I like the tucked in zipper part too. I have made several pouches using this method with the zipper, I agree, it is tricky at first, I messed up a couple of times but then you get it perfectly
Happy Week-end
I love sewing bags like this – they make fabulous gifts and the possibilities are pretty endless for how to make them. This one is great.
such small squares a lovely pouch and what a nice present to be given
Very very pretty! Love your patchwork!
Beautiful pouch! I really like zippers with tabs like that. Looks so much neater. Great gift!
Gorgeous, Nicole. Such a lovely gift – no wonder you found it hard to part with!
Love your pouch, now I have some ideas for my AMH stash, thanks!
I love it! What a great way to use up scraps!
I wish my name were Valerie. There is something extremely appealing about that grey textured bottom contrasting the patchwork squares that really makes this bag stellar.
Wunderschön und eine richtige Fleißarbeit auch die Farben sind toll

Beautiful, Nicole! I love everything about it, especially those bright colors with the gray linen. I don't think I could part with that one!
It's lovely, Nicole, I love the colors you use!
Beautiful quilt! That pouch is so cute! I'm making my first open wide pouch today! I might even make a second one with some patchwork because I love it! Trying to decide on which interfacing to use. What did you use for yours?
