One Zip Pouch - Three Different Looks

I've been immersed in the world of zip pouches. I thought it would be a fun way to share some of my creations with the family and, of course, the grands always seem to come first when it comes to gifting!

I started with a little color blocked zip pouch pattern shown at Polkadot Chair. I added some embroidery decor to personalize it for one of our granddaughters. The outside of the bag features a cute blue and white polka dot on one side and a color block of fabrics that are yellow, yellow gingham, and blue and white polka dot on the other.

Her school and her brother's baseball team mascot is a panther. So, I added a cute split paw print. On the color blocked side, I added her name. The bag is lined with yellow gingham.

Since I also had created her a bag tag and included a carabiner with it, I added a D ring. I also rounded the corners of the bottom edge. Bright and sunshiney for Linley but not frilly - she would have none of that!

For our middle school granddaughter, I made a simple zip pouch that is the same size but does not include the color blocked design. It is crafted from an upholstery-weight beige fabric with black random spots. 

 I decorated one side of it with her name stitched in her favorite color. Then, added her school team name in a school color to the other side. The bright orange zipper's ring pull has a little tab of purple and purple gingham ribbon knotted onto it.

She is a volleyball player. So, I figured she might have items that she would need to corral for game day. The inside of the bag is a simple purple broadcloth. The pouch is colorful, has squared off corners, and measures about 5x8" in size. Super simple in design but handy in size and rugged in construction.

The third zip pouch is for our youngest grand. It also features the color block design similar to the first one. I started off with a bandana sort of print one one side and added an applique of a beef heifer. The fabrics are red, white, and black cotton.

The opposite side has those two fabrics color blocked with a red microcheck which has her name stitched on it. The bottom corners are curved similar to the first one. Then, I tied a red gingham ribbon on the ring zipper pull. 

One pattern, three different style little pouches. All of them are about 5x8" in size. It is the perfect size for a smart phone and a few other small sundries. It could hold loads of treasures for a little girl. It would be handy for a bit of cosmetics or any number of things that could be dropped down inside a larger purse or tote bag. I just love them!
