5 Minute DIY Bag - Fat Quarter Friendly

Looking for a quick sewing project you can finish in minutes? This little bag is perfect for beginners and experienced sewists alike. It takes just one fat quarter and a 9" zipper to whip up a handy pouch for makeup, sewing notions, or small gifts.

In the free pattern download, I’ve included cutting sizes and simple step-by-step instructions. If you’d like to see it come together in real time, check out my YouTube tutorial where I walk you through the process.

What I love most about this bag is how easy it is to customize—add a wristlet, label, or strap, or change up the size to fit your needs. Once you’ve made one, you’ll want to make a whole stack.

Happy sewing!
