The Frankie Zipper Pouch is a beginner-friendly zipper pouch pattern designed to help you finally feel comfortable sewing zippers — without complicated steps or intimidating techniques.
This pattern focuses on simple construction, clean finishes, and confidence-building skills you’ll use again and again. Frankie is perfect if zipper projects have felt a little scary… or if you’re looking for a quick, satisfying make that still teaches solid bagmaking basics.
Whether this is your first zipper pouch or one of many, Frankie walks you through the process in a calm, approachable way so everything makes sense as you sew.
Frankie is also available as part of a Sew Better Bags Bundle — a great option if you want to understand why bagmaking techniques work and then put them into practice right away.
The bundle pairs the Sew Better Bags eBook with the Frankie Pouch pattern, so you can learn the fundamentals behind structure, interfacing, and clean finishes — and then apply them in a quick, confidence-building project.

Such a simple pattern for a cute little pouch. Instructions were comprehensive and though I’ve made a few pouches previously some of the finer points explained and made the finished pouch look so much better. Zips, the bane of my life, are really not so hard I’ve found.
This was very helpful for me.
Wonderful pouch with clear instructions and lots of amazing tips. After the holiday crazies, I am taking it slow on this one to concentrate on all the suggestions instead of typically rushing thru some projects. The visuals are terrific also especially for us “visual learners”
Looking forward to enjoying each step of the process.
