Linkin Pouch Downloadable Pattern

This is a downloadable pattern. Downloads are sent immediately after purchase.

I stitched up the first version of this little pouch for my son—something sturdy and simple for him to tuck his toiletries into when he’s on the go. What started as a quick “mom can you make me something?” sew quickly became a favourite design. There’s something I love about those clean quilted lines, the soft structure, and the way it feels both practical and a little sentimental at the same time.

This quilted zipper pouch comes together beautifully with straight-line quilting and crisp edges. It’s modern, minimal, and timeless—easy to personalize with colour, perfect for gifting, and sturdy enough for everyday use.
