Open Wide Pouches

The Open Wide Zippered Pouch tutorial designed by Anna of Noodlehead is my favorite pouch pattern. It is so easy for me to change the basic measurements to fit the fabric and zippers I have on-hand.
I decided it was time to use this fun trick-or-treat fabric to make something. The Open Wide Zippered Pouch was perfect. This is made using the medium size bag with a minor modificaton to make the perfect knitting project bag. Instead of cutting the fabric panels only 9" tall I cut them to 12" by 12". That way I get a deeper bag. I can fit two cakes of yarn and a working project in one. Great for shawl projects.
I had a small amount left over, so I also made this one using a 7" zipper. It's much smaller and I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Too cute to not share, though.
Since I was using up the Halloween fabrics I went ahead and made a really small Open Wide Zippered Pouch. This one uses 5" charm squares for the panels and a 5" zipper. This one is really small, and not for the feight of heart.
See how small it is? This one is really only big enough for a couple cookies or some sweets.

I buy my zippers from ZipIt Zippers on Etsy. Great selection and service!
