The Heartfelt Pouch is a beginner-friendly flat zipper pouch with a heart quilt block front.
It comes in two practical sizes. The small one is perfect for gift cards, travel-size items or teacher gifts, and the large one works as a pencil pouch, sewing notions holder or travel organizer for classes.
A quick, satisfying project you'll want to make again and again.
✔️ Beginner-friendly
✔️ Two sizes: 6" × 6" and 6" × 9.5"
✔️ Video help for zipper tabs
✔️ Nothing to print, just cut & measure
Fabric amounts are the same for either size.
The Heartfelt Pouch pairs beautifully with the Sew Better Bags eBook if you want to understand the why behind bagmaking techniques like interfacing, structure, and clean finishes, and then put them into practice right away.
You can purchase both the Sew Better Bags eBook and the Heartfelt Pouch pattern together to learn the fundamentals and apply them in a quick, confidence-building project.
The Heartfelt Pouch makes a great companion project alongside:
Perfect for gift sets, travel organization, or using up favorite fabric scraps.
Do I need to print anything?
Nope! Heartfelt is all measure and cut, with nothing to print or tape.
What sizes are included?
Two flat pouches: small (6" × 6") for gift cards and travel sizes, and large (6" × 9.5") for pencils, notions or class supplies.
What skill level is Heartfelt?
Beginner-Friendly.
Do I need quilting experience?
Not necessarily. Knowing how to sew half-square triangles (HSTs) helps, but it isn't required.
Does it have boxed corners?
No, it's a flat zipper pouch, so it's quick to sew.
Is there video help?
Yes. There are video tutorials for zipper help, like making zipper tabs. They're extra help alongside the written pattern, not a full sew-along.
Is it a good gift project?
Yes! It's quick and giftable, and perfect for teacher gifts or gift card holders.

I made the large Heartfelt pouch as a present and it turned out very well. I have only ever made simple patchwork squares before so this was quite a challenge but I followed each step carefully and it was easier than I thought it would be. I made a tissue holder to match. I think the recipient was happy!
I enjoyed making this pouch, it will be a steep learning curve to get it as beautiful as the ones you made ,but practice makes perfect!
I haven't tried this pattern yet so I can't give it 5 stars until the project is finished.

Very well laid out, tons of information on notions to have on hand before starting. Will refer to it for sure.
So easy to follow. Highly recommend. Mandy is an excellent teacher!!!
Great pattern with easy to follow instructions. My pouch turned out so cute!
Excellent pattern, one off the quickest I've sewn
Easy pretty. Great size
Very pleased with my purchase! Really great tips and tricks. Definitely purchase this, don’t wait it is that good. I’m new at sewing and it’s been very valuable to me.
I purchased the Kathy tote and Frankie pouch for my bundle. I downloaded the patterns but I have not yet had the chance to sew them up. Instructions look easy and I can’t wait to get started.
I love this pattern, and I love the finished product even more. The instructions were clear but there was one step where I did wish there was an accompanying video.
The book is very informative, easy to read and understand, has tables that are easy to use.
Great. Mainly all the information for bag making in one file. I make bags, pouches and such all time so I find it very handy.
I thought your instructions and video were great!
Great job!
This is a super pattern. Easy to follow directions and fast to make. I used some small pieces of leftover fabric for this project. Great to put items in for a gift for someone I’ll or just as a gift. Thank you Amanda for continuing to offer easy to follow, wonderful patterns.
Great pattern, easy to follow! Will purchase more patterns!
Lovely pattern. Can't wait to sew for Christmas quilt.
My first tote bag to make was the Kathy Tote Bag. I love the step by step instructions and detailed photos. Some steps I zipped through and some others I would go back and reread or double check what I was doing with the photos. I loved making this so much that I have several other patterns ready to get started on. Amanda makes her patterns so easy to understand and the added tips are excellent. My only problem is deciding what to make next. Thank you for understanding exactly what I need to be comfortable making a bag!
