Elemental Zip Pouch Tutorial

These Elemental Zip Pouches were born from a need for simple, multi-use bags that can be used to hold almost anything. I love to keep things organized and I am much more likely to keep everything tidy if I have a beautiful, handmade bag to store things in. These multi-pocket, multi-size pouches are perfect for tablets, makeup, notions, art supplies, or anything else your heart desires. As basic and useful as earth, wind, fire, and water, these pouches are named as much for their functionality as they are for their elemental pocket detail.

This tote is simple, chic, and DOES NOT REQUIRE SEWING. I’ve been getting by without a sewing machine (though it is a goal of mine to get one and tame the beast) and have happily found that you guys really enjoy my no sew tutorials, so I’ll keep them coming :).

This tote was made pretty much exactly the same way as my no sew tote bag, only this one is bigger and roomier for all those beach day supplies. Plus, these handles are made with nautical rope and I used a new technique for attaching them to the bag, which I’m really excited to share!

When I first set out to make this tote bag, I did some research to see what kind of no sew tutorials were out there, and to my surprise there weren’t many at all that I came across. So if you’re in the I-don’t-have-a-sewing-machine camp like I am or have a general interest in not using a sewing machine, then hopefully this DIY will help you out!

Do you love a good tote? We love a good tote. And this DIY pillowcase tote bag is our new favorite for shopping trips, book clubs, and trips to the farmers market. If you’ve got a few pillowcases and scarves (or an addiction to thrift stores), you’re a quick sewing sesh away from your own cute bag. Try one tonight!
