The Harlequin Zipper Pouch

This is The Harlequin zippered pouch from Crafted by Leanne. The pattern comes with this way to sew the pouch at an angle or straight without angles. This version seems to be the most popular on social media.

I used a Route 66 fabric print and faux cork (it's fabric that looks like cork). It is a cute pouch and there is a larger version as well, which I have seen turned into cross body bags or wristlets with straps.

The way the fabric prints were sewn in the front just happened to merge the state I was born in with the state that I live in. I guess that means I am a true Route 66 gal, lol!

This is the back of the pouch.

Inside a pretty print.

There is an updated add on template that Leanne created so that you can sew this pouch with Y-seams, instead of sewing the 2 separate pieces that have the center seam like mine has.

This bag has SOLD.

Take Note Zippered Pouch

This is called the Take Note Zippered Pouch (Crafted by Leanne pattern). It is a free pattern if you join Leanne's Facebook Group (pdf is in the files). You can find her other pdf patterns for sale in her Etsy Shop.

Leanne has a different way of sewing this zippered pouch and it yields great looking results. The only thing I am not thrilled with is that the zipper tape inside the bag shows and is not sewn into the fabric. But from the outside the bag looks great.

This is what I mean about the zipper tape showing inside. Not a huge deal, but in most pouches the tape is sewn into the fabric (sandwiched in between the fabric). I really like the way this bag is sewn and it is a nice size to hold so many items, that I can overlook that. Plus the pattern was free!

I will make more of these when I can. There are so many cute and fun to make zipper pouches now, that I can play and have fun making lots of them.
