Pleated Pouch Tutorial
This pleated pouch tutorial shows you how to make the perfect home made gift. Slip in a gift card and it would make and extra special! Once you know how to put in a zipper think of all the things you can make!
How to make a zippered Pouch
Download pattern pieces and print with no scaling selected on your printer. Cut out two of each piece from your favorite fabric. You will also need 1 – 7 inch zipper.
Pleated Pouch Pattern Download
Mark fabric from pattern where it should be pleated. Bring one mark over to the next. Pin.
Place outer top piece face down on pleated piece, line up edges and stitch across 1/4 inch from the edge. Open up and press. Repeat with other two pieces to make the other side.
Make a zipper sandwich. Place 1 piece of outer fabric face up, then the zipper and then the lining right side facing down. Line up the three edges.
With a zipper foot sew across the top between the edge of your zipper sandwich and the zipper teeth (closer to the zipper feet).
Bring lining and outer fabric to the same side.
Make another zipper sandwich on the other side of the zipper.
Open up and it will look like this. You can top stitch at the edge of the fabric along the zipper now, if you like (I didn’t).
Bring both pieces of lining to one side and both pieces of the outer fabric to the other side. Un-zip zipper at least halfway so you can turn it once it is stitched. If you forget to un-zip the zipper you won’t be able to turn your pouch right side out.
Pinch zipper towards outer fabric, making sure it is laying nicely as you pin.
Using 1/4 inch seam stitch all the way around the pouch leaving a two inch opening in the bottom of the lining for turning.
Turn right side out. Hand stitch (or machine stitch) opening in lining closed.
Push lining inside the pouch and it is finished!
Thank you very much for sharing this pattern and tutorial!

where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one?
Thanks a lot!
to exchange methods with others, why not shoot me an e-mail if interested.
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
Thanx a lot!
I've looked every where but can't find one that looks like hers!
:(
You're Pleated pouch looks divine! I'm really impressed with how beautifully your zipper sits at the top of the pouch. Did you use any specific technique to make it look so neat & even? I'm a little OC when it comes to little details like that ;) and I'm not happy with the outcome of my recent effort (hence why I'm online trying to figure out how to rectify it! ) I Would appreciate any tips you could offer. Thanks :)

I made already a pouch for my daughter and one for me and they look so cute!!!
I have been sewing for many years, but I'm afraid I didn't understand the way you put the lining in?
I did it another way, but I'm sure your way would be easier. I just don't quite understand when the lining is being added. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
so many great patterns.
MY GD's will like this as well as myself.
oooh thanks sooo much your angel...here in germany they have just the same bags but not for free :-( thanks thanks thanks
tomorrow i will have a new little bag :-)
much love
