Description
These two small zippered pouches sew up fast with no binding or quilting, which makes them a perfect way to use leftover bits of fabric, zippers, and Soft and Stable. The Flat Bag is just right for personal care items, earbuds, or small toys, while the roomier Standing Bag opens wide for makeup, pens, cords, and chargers. With three pieces of Soft and Stable included, you can start sewing right away.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern, which comes with three pieces of ByAnnie's Soft and Stable, enough to make one of each bag or three Flat Bags. Fabric, zippers, and thread are not included.
Pint-Sized Pals is part of ByAnnie's Jump Starters series. A coupon for the full-length $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge, walking through the steps alongside the printed instructions.
What You'll Need
Requirements are listed for both bags as Flat Bag / Standing Bag. Non-directional main fabrics are recommended, as directional prints may need extra fabric and a different approach.
- Main fabric (exterior of bag body): 8¼" x 5" / fat eighth
- Lining fabric (lining of bag body): 10" x 5" / fat eighth
- ByAnnie's Soft and Stable (included): 8¼" x 5" / 10" x 8¼" (or two 5" x 8¼"). The three included 5" x 8¼" pieces make one of each style.
- Fusible interfacing (to join pieces of Soft and Stable): not needed / 2" x 9"
- Handbag zipper (YKK #4.5): one 30" double-slide zipper, or 20" of zipper tape plus 2 slides, makes the zippers for both bags. The Flat Bag uses an 8" closure and the Standing Bag uses a 12" closure.
- Thread: 50 wt polyester to complement fabrics
Perfect For
- Beginners who want a fast, satisfying project with a polished result
- Anyone looking to use up leftover fabric, zippers, and Soft and Stable scraps
- Makers who want quick, practical handmade gifts
- Sewists who like two useful pouch styles from a single pattern
Why You'll Love This Pattern
Pint-Sized Pals is built for quick wins. With no binding or quilting, each pouch comes together in a flash, so a finished bag is an easy afternoon make and a ready gift. Two styles in one pattern keep it useful long after the first try.
The Flat Bag is the slim one you tuck into a purse or backpack for earbuds and small items. The Standing Bag opens wide and holds its shape, so makeup, pens, and cords are easy to see and reach. Because three pieces of Soft and Stable come in the package, there is no waiting to get started.
As part of ByAnnie's Jump Starters series, this pattern is made to build confidence: beginners pick up new skills and experienced sewists enjoy a fast, tidy finish. The included full-length Add-On Video walks through anything new, so it is easy to dive in.
