My Thoughts
This pattern was fast, easy, and fun! The Filigree pouch design made it enjoyable to work with zippers in a creative way. Such a fun upgrade to a first zipper bag! I will be making more of these Filigree-inspired pouches for gifts this year.
I would highly recommend this to my students and friends starting to sew. The instructions are spot on and easy to follow. Sara does a great job of breaking down the steps to make them manageable and to help you maintain your confidence as you construct this pouch.
The Double-zip is an excellent addition for keeping items separated; I could use a double-zip pouch for art supplies, makeup, sewing supplies, embroidery, sleepovers, and traveling!
Sara also has a Facebook group (where you can ask questions, get answers, and find fun ideas for your projects)! Sara worked so hard on this one, and it is a super fun make if you give yourself some time to put in those zips!
Final Notes
This bag is the perfect challenge if you are comfortable making the standard zip pouch. It’s a significant change from the same old, same old and the double-zip feature is a practical improvement that highlights the intricate filigree design.
