Let's Sew a Mini Box Pouch

In this step-by-step tutorial, I demonstrate my method of making a Mini Box Pouch which measures approximately 5" High by 2" Wide by 1" Deep. The interior is completely finished with no center seam as we will be turning the pouch right side out through an opening in the zipper. The method I use for boxing up the corners creates cute triangles on the top and bottom of the pouch. This size will easily carry a 2 oz. bottle of hand sanitizer. This is a fun and fast project and a great make for sale at craft shows. I used 100% cotton quilting fabric for the project along with Decovil Light for stablizer. In this video I sew on a Juki 8000a industrial sewing machine, but this project can be made easily on any domestic machine. I hope you enjoy the video and give the pouch a try. Thanks for watching and please like and subscribe.

So sew smart! What a great technique. You & your video are winners! Brilliant to fold in the seams and to use an opening at the zipper to turn right side out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@debradavis3756]

I love this! Thank you for such detailed explanation of how to make this! I realize you made this 2 yrs ago, but it’s the first time I saw it! Ty Ty Ty!!

Thank you for great instructions. have just finished a mini pouch, using instructions from another KZbinr. However, I love your box method and zip gap for turning, so will be using your tutorial to make more. I hope my machine can cope with the layers! Could your box method and gap via the zip, be used for bigger projects, like pouches and bags? Thank you so much. Just found you.

[@donnadailey5062]

I've watched this tutorial 5 times already... love it, and your teaching style. I've also watched your "no indent" end tab zipper install on a different video. Call me dumb, but I love the finished look of end tab zippers and wonder if it would be a good idea to add those end tabs to the zipper for this bitty box? If so, would I follow your "no indent" video and then finish off as you do the ends in this tutorial? Thank you so very much for your generosity in sharing your pattern designs and talent via constructing such professional looking projects. You are greatly appreciated. Stay well, healthy and happy.

[@janetm356]

Hi, Rosie. I love your method with this. I’d like to try making it a bit larger. Would that mean that the folds would also need to be larger? Thanks.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I would make the pleats deeper. thanks for watching.

[@capreacewalker2743]

[@laurawhittaker7217]

Hi! Great tutorial. However, did I miss the part about the tab? What dimensions are we supposed to cut the fabric to make the tabs?

[@RosiesArtStudio]

You can cut it the tax 2” x 6” which you will cut in half after top stitching. I did not give the dimension I used in the video as that can change with the width of the hardware you are using and the desired length of the tab. Thanks for watching!

Hello! How would someone sew bigger versions of this? …. Like, GYM BAG, big ….. Is it just make sure it’s a perfect square, divide it into thirds (with all 4 lines still drawn), and follow as you instructed here? Or is there an available pattern?

[@TracyKMainwaring]

Has anyone upsized this a little so it fits credit cards? My cards measure 2 1/8" wide. I know that's not much of a difference, but I'm just wondering if someone else has already done the math :) This pouch is so cute, with the little folds at the end!

It I want to make this wider, 6x7, to accommodate a roll of dog poo bags, do I still make 2 1" lines or make the lines different??

[@marjowag8806]

Lines at 1 1/4 & 2 1/4??

[@RosiesArtStudio]

You will have to figure that out. Match up the center of the zipper and the center back and then see how deep you want the pleat to be. Then you can figure out where to mark your lines once you figure out the pleats. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching.
