“This pattern is very exciting as it is simple to make and quick to complete! This was my first ever experience sewing a zipper and I was able to accomplish this easily thanks to the great instructions. I am looking forward to making an entire set in every size!” – Irene Grimes
“I loved making these Zoe Zip pouches! Such a wonderful way to use up fabric scraps and put fun fabric combinations together. They were super fun to make and a quick sew. They are perfect for beginners too because they teach the basics of inserting a zipper and linings. They also make perfect gifts! I plan to make a bunch of these in all the sizes!”- Shaina Mack
“This pattern is perfect for using scraps, left over zippers and pieces of ribbon. Even concealed zippers in various length are good to use. It is an easy and quick sew and a great gift. Only one problem: it is addictive.” Francisca Beitler
For some fun twists, you can: add metal rings to the zip tabs and use them to attach a cross-body strap for a simple messenger-style bag; make one up in super bedazzled fabric for a fancy clutch that is big enough to hold all your essentials; use a waterproof fabric for both the lining and the outer to make a wet bag for swimsuits or diapers; add padding between the two layers to make a laptop or tablet pouch.
Including all sizes from XS to XL, the Zoe Zip pattern is perfect for any wovens in your stash. You can use any weight fabric with no stretch and can use two fat quarters for all but the XL.

This is an amazing stash-buster! Each bag (except for the biggest size) can fit on a fat quarter for the exterior and a fat quarter for the lining. There is a size for everything: from a small tooth-fairy bag, to a large bag to pack shoes inside. You can use any kind of woven fabric. And the area around the zippers has such a professional finish with the optional zip tabs. Love, love, love!!

This is such a great and versatile pattern. the 5 different sizes give you some great options, pretty easy to sew, and a great pattern to practice zips if you have never used them before! the clear instructions meant that i could sew one up pretty quickly.
I also made a tester version in spandex with no lining or interfacing, and i feel it would make a great swim bag!

I loved this pattern! It’s a fun and easy sew. The only thing I would change would to perhaps explain how long to cut the zippers if using longer zippers. This was the only issue I ran into.
Francisca Beitler –

Kat Churchill –

Haneke Peeters –
Super easy pattern to sew up! All in one afternoon and I am still a beginner. I omitted the lining in my two pouches which would’ve given so much more structure to them, but I am still super happy and they were the perfect teacher’s day gifts for my daughter’s two teachers!
Suzi Nasoor –
Love love love the instructions, super quick n easy to sew..
Karla Henrichs –
I thought this pouch was easy to make and so much fun. I made some out if cotton, with cotton lining. I added fusible vinyl to three if them. This made it harder to turn, but I really liked the idea of water resistant. I also made one from pleather. It seems like a wide variety of material can be used.
Shelley Clark –

Nor Aliah Abdul Aziz –
Easy sew and i love the size!
Sabrina Ropp –
These were so fast and easy, and incredibly versatile. Add some handles and you have a tote bag, line it with PUL and you can use it as a wet bag. Make a bag for loose toys, matchbox cars, pencils, markers, makeup, fabric scraps. I’m seriously using them for everything.
Amber Stefanick –
I have been waiting for a zipper pouch pattern just like this! I love that it stands up by itself and comes in so many size options. I’m planning to use the largest size to wrap Christmas presents in this year. I also love that the pattern has the square cutouts so you don’t waste fabric when you square the corners. This was a fun, quick, satisfying sew.
Paula Crebbs –
I liked this pattern and how I was able to make all 3 sizes in one evening. I already have planned out some as Christmas gifts.
Julie Allen Lovegrove –
I LOVE this pattern! This is the perfect quick sew project that looks like it was really difficult, but it wasn’t! These pouches are so handy, with every size you’ll ever need! They also make the perfect gift.
Liz Faber –
I love these pouches. Easy to sew with great instructions. Everything in my house is going to have it’s own bag! I also have plans to make out of PUL and add handles for wet bags for my sons cloth nappies.
Gill Jerman –
I really enjoyed making these. The instructions were very clear and if you take your time they are perfect for a beginner. I have only done 1 zip in the past and was surprised at how easy these were. I especially like the medium size for makeup and the larger is great for a toilet bag. My little ones have requested the XS size for their pennies. I will be making many more of these. They also make a fantastic gift for teachers etc. Added bonus is you get to use up all your scraps for the smaller sizes.
Alieke Enders –
Very nice pouches to make. Easy and fast pattern and very nice to get rid of your scraps of fabric that pile up in your closet. Also a nice gift to give away!
Nichole Merren –

Jo Sharp –
I could make these all day long. Such a straightforward pattern and a great result at the end.

This pattern was so easy to make; I whipped each of these bags out in under an hour for each bag. It is a quick sew and a great bag for holiday gifts!
Nicole Lueke –
The Zoe Zip is such a versatile pattern and sews up really quick. This is great when you need a pouch to store travel items (or dice for table top games), and it’ll make a great gift as well. I would definitely recommend this for a beginner sewista who wants to try something new that will test their skills and create something beautiful.
Daph Né Geeraerd –
I just love this quick and easy sewing project! It’s an ideal sew to make as a gift or to just keep it yourself. In less than 1 hour you have a this handmade pouch ready. Everyone can make this. The hardest part is not using it right away :p.
Laura Kraai –
I really like this pattern. Easy to sew, and love the instructions on the zip!
Julie McBrien –
This is a really versatile pattern that can be used for cosmetic pouches, pencil cases and clutch bags. It is an easy introduction to zips too. These pouches have so many uses and can be easily customised.
Chantal van Drunen-Ezendam –
Cute – Cuter – Cutest – Zoe Zip Bags. These bags are just adorable. And they are super easy to sew. The zipper might be a bit tricky for those that have not done zippers before, but with the instructions provided, everyone should be able to make these bags! I know what I will be making for christmas, end-of-schoolyear, birthday gifts!
Candice Robb –
I love these zip pouches! They’re very cute and surprisingly quick to put together. I like that they come in a variety of sizes so I can make a whole set or just the size I need.
Adawiyah Hairuni –
These are my first pouches with zipper tabs on them. Sewing instructions is easy to follow. I love that Zoe come in different sizes. Perfect for gifts of any ocassion. Great pattern.
Kim Cierpik-Gold –
The Zoe Zips are “sew” much fun! I’ve only sewn zippers once with a sewing instructor standing by my side, and the instructions for the Zoe were perfect for adding a zipper. The pouches are quick to assemble, and are so much fun to gift (my 3 year old already claimed hers!). I can’t wait to sew more.
Elyse Clarke –
Loved this little sew! It makes the zip easy and the 5 sizes are great. Will definitely be making lots of these.
Lim Boon Kuan –
The pouches may benefit with addition of D rings at the sides, such that straps can be added. Then the pouches can be used as bags as well especially for the larger sizes.
Yolonde Bates –
Love this pattern. Very easy from beginning to end. Took me 1.5 hours from cutting to finishing the medium and the small pouches.
Agnes Bobak –
It is a very easy and quick sew. I totally recommend it for instant success 🙂 also great for making quick gifts
Melissa Dale –
Such a quick sew! I love the many size options and how versatile they are.
Janine Cochrane –
Super fun sew and with so many sizes there are endless options to make the perfect Zoe zip pouch
Clare Bowes –
This is a fantastic scrap busting pattern, all of mine have been made out of left-over fabric from other projects.
Really easy to follow step by step instructions take you through to make a lovely lined pouch which can be used for a wide variety of needs. XS is handy size for a coin purse, S as a carrying case for tablets if you need to take medication out and about with you. M is handy for a make-up sized pouch – as is L (if you have lots of make-up). L and is also ideal for a toiletry bag. XL could be made into a handbag or use as a large toiletry bag.
Such a nice sew and quite addictive sew too! I have made 5 so far but have a few more cut out ready to sew ?. Ideal for present ideas too, especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Happy Sewing!
Danielle Watson –

Ng Puay Choo –
This is an easy sew and I love how it turns out, perfect handmade gifts for friends!
Michell Mason –
Nice little zip pouches, really easy to make and very handy storage. I made 3 small and 1 medium, the medium is now a pencil case for myself which holds 60 pens easily and the small pouches are for my children 😀 Really useful pattern and good for using up some of my FQ
Rachael Oultram –
Fantastic pouches perfect for any season and recipient. They make the perfect gift or even for yourself. Super fast and easy sew.

Loved this little pouch, the sizes are a wide range so perfect from anything from coin purse to clutch! Quick see if you know how to sew zippers
Khirya Littoria –
Sewn in 30 minutes… Size XS is perfect for small things lying around in the bag or for storing small sewing things such as small “Clover” pliers (for example)
Pamela Turner Munnerlyn –
I loved making these. They are easy and fun to make. I made 10 all in one day and would make more. Great for gifts or to put gifts in.
Pamela Turner Munnerlyn –
I loved making these. I made 10 in one day and love them. They make great gifts or to put gifts in to give to someone.
Nadine Simard –
This project was completed by my teenager, great beginner project for inserting zipper.
Karla Henrichs –
I love these pouches. I think the XL is too big and the XS is too hard to turn right side out. The other three sizes are great. I made some previously and have them away for Christmas gifts.
Jennifer MacDonald –
I love this bag. It’s the perfect sew to figure out zippers, and to dive into bags. It’s super satisfying and once you try one size, you can’t resist trying the others to do a matching set!
Vikki –
The Zoe zip pouch was easy to sew and great for a beginner. The different sizes are great as you have options to use them for different things. Perfect for school pencil cases and make-up. Anything you like really.
Jane Whicheloe –
Love this its sooo cute.and love that are so many different sizes. Instructions were easy to follow and love all the pictures. Makes it so much easier to make as there is no second guessing.
Harriëtte Aertsr –
Great pattern whit the sew along a great project to start your first time sewer
Salomé Goncalves –
Very easy pattern, even for beginners I’d say the zipper application is as easy as it gets. The shape allows this small pouch to carry quite a lot of things, so it’s also useful. I only made one because I ran out of zippers, but I’ll definitely make more once stores reopen/I can order online.
Erica Nemnich –
Great awesome quick sew. XS is super tiny so you can make without the zipper and still be useful
Donna Jones –
The Zoe Zip was a fun sew! The walk-through and picture instructions are really thorough and easy to follow, but I also love the quick guide for more experienced sewist.
Francisca Beitler –
I love this pattern. It is great for upcycling old fabric like old jeans, handkerchiefs etc. It is easy and quick to make and a great gift.
Khirya Littoria –
Sewn in 30 minutes… Size XS is perfect for small things lying around in the bag or for storing small sewing things such as small “Clover” pliers (for example)
Michele Axmaker Chapman –
Great pattern! Easy to follow, beautiful bag. Someone who is new to sewing this is perfect, those who love to see, it’s a fun easy project
Tricia Nguyen –
This pattern is a great way to use up scraps and for a quick gift. I plan on making a few to keep on hand for last minute gifts. I also think it could be a great alternative to disposable gift bags. Instructions are rather easy to follow. I do think a few of the pictures for the zipper should be closer up for those that are learning. Definitely a great design with several sizes for various purposes.
Melinda Bailey –
So easy to follow instructions, suitable for beginners, great results! I love making these little bags and they make great gifts too!
Loesje Shema –
Good instructions, except how the seam travels from the lining-to-lining side, past the zipper, to the outside-fabric-to-outside-fabric side, especially when the tabs are involved. I had to leave gaps at the zipper area, turn the bag right side out, then pull the tabs out and hand-sew the top the the side seams.
Rachel Loper –
Perfect pattern to get into bag making. And there’s a size to fit all of your needs!
Magda Rindmo –
A fun sew, perfekt for gifts just fill them with what you want. The instructions on sewing a zipper is good, even if you never done it before, you will succeed.
Harriëtte Aertse –
Quick and easy pattern especially if you also look at the videos on youtube.
Donna Jones –
I made the zoe zip for my daughter as a make up bag. She was undicided on fabric so she used 4 different skull designs. The pouch sews up quickly, the instructions are clear and the whole thing came together quickly. I used a heavy interfacing so it would withstand a lot of use, bit it would have been better to make the interfacing size minus the seam allowance as they got bulky and difficult to sew.
Vina T. Bilow –
Looking forward to this.
Eline Ghesquiere –
Very clear instructions, so easy to sew up, fast sew. Go to pattern when in need of a present.
Diane Cullum –
A wonderfully useful pattern that can be used to store so many different things for different people. It’s pretty quick to sew (unless you decide to embroider on both sides 😅). I made these for my hairdresser and salon owner.
Urška Filipič –
Great pattern, fantastic for presents.
