Sew a tampon pouch | Tutorial

This cute little pouch keeps your tampons clean and organized. We’ll show you how easy it is to sew your own tampon pouch!

Sewing Tutorial for a Tampon Pouch

You’re probably familiar with the situation: tampons have a habit of flying around loose in your handbag. When you finally need one, the cellophane wrapper is torn and the tampon is unusable.

With our super-simple tutorial, you can sew a practical little tampon pouch in no time—and perhaps another for your friend, who definitely knows the "loose tampon phenomenon" too. :)

Sewing a Tampon Pouch: Video

We sewed this tampon pouch using the tutorial for our taco bag:

Note

Instead of the 28 cm diameter used in the video, our fabric circle for the mini pouch is only 13.5 cm.

Afterward, we stitched the corners to 1.5 cm and finished the edges with bias tape.

The fabric for the tampon pouch is from the Woodland Critters collection.

You can now embellish the finished pouch as you like with yo-yo flowers or a charm.

The pouch is finished with some pretty floral bias tape.

The metallic zipper gives even the smallest pouch a sophisticated look! We don't just love these types of zippers because they look great: they are quite robust, and you can still sew over them using a standard sewing machine needle. They are available in many common colors.

Check out the corresponding article if you'd like to know how a continuous zipper works and how to thread it.

It’s also super cool if you sew your tampon pouch to match your mobile phone case.

Here is the matching tutorial for sewing a phone case with a free pattern for you!

Or are you in the mood for a matching cosmetics bag? ;)
