The Elsie & D Pouch comes in three handy sizes. They can be made with a waterproof material and use like a wetbag, or make with woven fabrics such as canvas for everyday use.
The small pouch is great for sanitary items, sewing supplies or use as a small purse with cash, cards and keys.
The medium pouch was designed to fit wet wipes (disposable or reusable), but is also great for cosmetics, toys or puzzles.
The large pouch is great for a pair of shoes, used in a daycare bag for a change of clothes, or make the backpack versions for toddlers.
This is a beginner friendly pattern. The instructions are written with those fairly new to sewing in mind, and have detailed photographs that take you through each step.
