Zipper Pouch FREE Pattern
Disclaimer: I was given the opportunity to receive fabrics from Fabric Wholesale Direct in exchange for this post. However, this testimony to the quality of the product and my experience with using the product is all my own.
I used materials from their Outdoor Collection to make our popular Monstera Zipper Pouch using our Free Pattern. I also made our new Super Monstera Toiletry Bag, an upgraded version with enough space for all your travel essentials!
The finished sizes of these zipper pouches are:
- For the Monstera Zipper Pouch is 10”W x 7”H x 2”D
- for the Super Monstera Toiletry Bag is 15″W x 9″H x 4 1/2″D
About the fabric:
The Ottertex® Waterproof Canvas – Meadow Print (600D) is 100% polyester, 60/61″ in width, features a plastic PVC backing with a waterproof coating. The fabric also has mold and UV resistance qualities. The thickness of the canvas measures approximately 0.55mm. The canvas material is also extremely flexible, which makes it very easy to work with and excellent option for backpacks, totes, toiletry bags, beach bags, and more. It has also been manufactured particularly to resist creasing despite its pliability. I used one of our Juki 2010 TL sewing machines to sew this bag and had no issues with it.
The Ottertex® Water-Repellent DWR Nylon Ripstop (70D) is 100% nylon, smooth, pliable, thin, and lightweight. It’s tear resistant and durable. The fabric is treated with a durable water-repellant coating (DWR). Although it worked for my projects, it is thinner than I would like for bag linings. Next time, I would try their 200D Ripstop.
