With my new sewing tutorial, designed specifically for beginners, you can easily sew a beautiful little pouch even as a novice! I'll show you how to do it, step by step!
Sewing a pouch, especially for beginners: "Dillie"
So, in the mood to sew a little pouch again?
Then Dillie is exactly what you need!
Dillie is perfect as a small cosmetic bag, pencil case, bag organizer, project bag, or as storage for odds and ends. It has a wide base that gives it great stability. This way, you can stand it on the bathroom shelf and take out your lipstick without your eyeliner rolling out too. :)
The eBook contains the sewing pattern for 3 sizes as well as the appliqué template in various sizes.
How big are the finished pouches?
- Size 1: 9 cm high, 16 cm wide, 5 cm deep
- Size 2: 11.5 cm high, 22 cm wide, 8 cm deep
- Size 3: 14.5 cm high, 28 cm wide, 9.5 cm deep
What is special about this eBook?
The pouch sewing tutorial is written in such a way that even beginners can successfully sew their first zippered pouch. It includes more intermediate steps than our other guides and shows the interim results in even more photos. This gives sewing beginners confidence and security.
What fabric can you use to sew the pouches?
Cotton woven fabric is just as suitable as linen, faux leather, oilcloth, SnapPap, cork fabric, paper fabric, or coated cotton.
You can also wonderfully use special bag-making fabric.

Note on appliqué
In the eBook you will find several appliqué templates that you can use to decorate your Dillie to your heart's content. Cork fabric, SnapPap, or leather are particularly well-suited for this. I also decorated the appliqué with split pins. I love using appliqués when sewing pouches.
Quickly download the eBook and sew the pouch! :)
Split-pin brads* are actually meant more for scrapbooking—but sometimes you just have to dare to be different, right? ;)
The result is definitely something to be proud of:
Combined with the matching glitter faux leather* , Dillie is a real eye-catcher, I think. This makes sewing pouches fun :)
The brads* are available in various designs at Amazon:
