Pouch with a View PDF Sewing Pattern

Pouch with a View is a quick, fun, scrap busting project. The pattern comes in four sizes to fit any number of items, from hand sewing supplies to little toys. The extra large size is the perfect size for storing unfinished 12" quilt blocks. The pouches can also be used as a changeable "I Spy" bag. A vinyl window on the front gives you a view of what is inside. I use the large pouch to store my basted 1/2" English paper pieced hexagons. I select which hexagon I want to use by looking through the vinyl window, which is so helpful on the go.

The pattern includes patchwork and plain panel exterior options, as well as detailed instructions and step by step pictures and diagrams.
