Description
Clamshell zippered pouches in five sizes that open wide for easy access, with grab tabs at the zippers and attached side panels that keep the contents from spilling out. The pouches nest together when empty to save space, and an optional strap with a swivel hook can be added. Quilt the fabric or leave it plain, and add an optional iron-on vinyl laminate for a wipe-clean interior. The five sizes range from 2¾ by 3½ by 2⅝ inches up to 5½ by 7½ by 5 inches.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only, with full instructions for all five sizes. Fabric, stabilizer, zippers, the optional vinyl laminate, and the optional strap hardware are not included.
A coupon for the $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge, covering the more detailed steps alongside the printed instructions.

Why You'll Love This Pattern
Clam Up opens wide like a clamshell, so the contents are easy to see and reach instead of buried in a deep pouch. Grab tabs at the zippers make it easy to open one-handed, and attached side panels keep small things from spilling out when it is open.
Five sizes cover everything from earbuds and lip balm to a full makeup or notions kit, and they nest together when empty to save space. Add an optional iron-on vinyl laminate for a wipe-clean interior, or an optional strap to carry the larger sizes.
