I am not a big fan of the large nappy (diaper) bag, so I love a zipper pouch full of baby change gear that I can fit in my bag, throw in the car or stash in the pram. Here’s how I made it:

Fun with oilcoth! Have you ever sewn with it? I love it because you can just wipe it clean – essential when you have kids around. They are really easy.

Before Christmas I made this sewing machine cover – I think it’s one of my favourite projects to date.

One of the most popular tutorials on my site is my Scrappy Zipper Pouch project. It is a simple zip pouch with panels made of fabric strips. Very easy and a fun project, so I decided to make a new one and scale the size down for a mini version.

This tutorial is for anyone who wants to master some simple basics – sewing in a zip, and making a small pouch. Zipper pouches are so versatile and great for organising your stuff!
