I was looking for a simple zippy bag to make as pencil pouches for
Operation Christmas Child when I came across the streamline pouch by
Elnora. She has a
free downloadable pdf pattern which includes a a neat trick with the zipper installation that avoids the little indentations you can sometimes get at each end of the zipper. These pouches can open completely from end to end, so you can fit even the longest pencil in with room to spare.
I made mine with solid scraps. Because I sewed quilt-as-you-go style onto batting, there was no need to use interfacing - perfect when you don't have any at home.

Super cute! I need to look up this pattern.
These are adorable! I’m going to check out that link right now! Thanks for sharing!
Love your fabric choices--simple and stylish! Thanks for the post--I can see myself making quite a few of these for gifts. And at least one for me, too, of course :0
I’m so glad you found the pattern helpful! Your pouches are adorable! Laying selvages across interfacing, overlapping by at least 1/4”, is another fun way to make such pouches. I do so with fusible interfacing, pressing the selvages to “baste” them before edge stitching.
The link above may not be working. I think this one will, though:

These are so nice! How generous of you to make them to giveaway. It’s always nice when quilters and bag-makers share free patterns.
