Introducing Pint-Sized Pals!
These small zippered pouches are quick and easy to make and perfect for using leftover bits of fabric, zippers, and Soft and Stable.
With no binding or quilting needed, they go together in a flash. That makes them perfect for last-minute gifts for anyone on your list!
The Flat Bag is just the right size for carrying personal care items, earbuds, small toys, and more!
Use the handy Standing Bag for easy access to makeup, pens, cords and chargers, or other small items.
Finished Sizes:
- Flat Bag — 4¼"H x 4½"W
- Standing Bag — 4½"H x 7½"W x 1"D
The Soft and Stable included in the package is enough to make one Flat Bag and one Standing Bag or three Flat Bags.
Pint-Sized Pals is part of our Jump Starters series of patterns, which are designed to spark your creativity through fast, fun, and useful projects.
Beginners will enjoy learning new skills, and seasoned sewists will love experiencing success and jump starting their creativity as they make these quick projects.
To get you started, each Jump Starters pattern includes the pattern, three pieces of Soft and Stable, and a full-length Add-on Video.
Inspiration from pattern testers
Many thanks to our hard-working pattern testers! Here are some photos of their beautiful work to inspire you to make your own Pint-Sized Pals.
Cindy used Flower Show II by Benartex to make these bright and happy Pint-Sized Pals. Below, they are pictured with one of our other Jump Starters projects, Tidy Time.
Anyone who enjoys sunflowers is sure to love this beautiful set!
Jennifer (Instagram: @taughtbymomquilts) made her lovely Pint-Sized Pals using Tula Pink’s Parisville Deja Vu line. We love the fun peek at the lining fabrics when the zippers are open!
Jennifer says these bags will be perfect for storing notions and small tools when sewing on the go. So true!
Kim found some fun fabrics in her stash to make these cute Pint-Sized Pals.
These projects are so quick to make and great for personalizing a gift for someone special!
We love how Kim used a contrasting zipper slide to add a little pop of color on her Standing Bag.
Randi (Instagram: @randisroost) used Tula Pink’s True Colors line for her Pint-Sized Pals.
The Standing Bag is perfect for carrying makeup or a phone.
And the Flat Bag would make a great change purse or bag for personal care items.
Randi says that the next time she makes these, she will add some button eyes above the zippers, since her daughters said the zipper looks like a mouth.
We agree! What a fun idea!
They DO look like they're smiling at you, don't they?
Are you ready to make your own Pint-Sized Pals?
Once you get the hang of these zippered bags, you'll be amazed how quickly they go together. Gather your leftover fabrics and zipper tape and make a pile to have on hand for last-minute gift giving!
To ensure success, we've filmed an Add-on Video that walks you through all the steps to make both zippered bags. And, the pattern comes with a coupon code that makes these Add-on Videos FREE!
Happy stitching!
