Half Square Triangle Pouch Lays Flat And Holds So Much

Make Two Half Square Triangle Pouches In One Go For Trinkets and Sewing Clips.

Pouches are so handy for almost everything. Whip up two in one go for instant little cubbies to hold trinkets and sewing goodies, quilting clips and anything else needing to be in easy reach. These small four inch pouches lay flat when empty and hold much more than expected. Unzipped the pouch opens wide to see exactly what you’re looking for in a flash.

Hst’s are so versatile. Here’s an idea to make two pouches at the same time in about an hour! Give one set as a gift and there’s still time to make for yourself. Try this neat trick to use Free Style Fasteners, a one sided zipper that come in all colors for a trendy look. They’re inexpensive, can be made any length and just right for these cute little pouches. (Available here). Use the fasteners for other projects too.

If you cannot find a Free Style Fastener, a long nylon coil zipper will do where you are able to separate the zipper into two tapes with one pull. Just cut off the zipper stop at the both ends and slide the zipper pull out providing a one sided zipper for your half square triangle pouch.

If using a regular nylon style zipper, add a free style fastener ring for an easier grip. (Available Here) The ring makes it easy to clip onto a larger bag, or sewing basket. Very handy to keep sewing clips and other accessories for easy reach and quick access.

Dig into your scraps to find pieces large enough to cut a couple of triangle pieces. Use two different prints to make up an interesting pouch as the fabric will show up on each side. You’ll be needing a 12″ square for the lining and 11″ square for a piece of low loft batting. Make heaps of these handy pouches for gifts, sewing accessories and all sort of things. Use pretty fabric to make them fun and colorful.

This super two for one pouch pattern is available free. Have fun making up cute little pouches with fun fabric for all ages.
