This fun and practical little pouch is perfect for organizing your craft supplies, or makes a thoughtful gift in a favorite fabric. We'll learn to use a paper pattern, install a zipper, apply interfacing, and sew a curved seam. Students should be able to independently set up and sew straight line projects on their machine. The larger of the two sizes is recommended for beginners.
