2. The Charming Pouch
3. The Charming Tote 
4. The Charming Wristlet Clutch

​In this post we will make this charming multi purpose pouch.

The finished measurements of this pouch is about 10" x 9"

1/3 yard lining fabric
Fusible Woven Interfacing 
Fusible Fleece
Nylon zipper (at least 12" long)

Cut 2x pieces of Charm Pack in halves

Lay out the patchwork for both exterior pieces.

Piece them together with 1/4" of seam allowance

Apply the interfacing (I use the combo of fusible woven interfacing and fusible fleece), then quilt your fabrics (optional).
​Now prepare the lining pieces

For the zipper you will need at least a 12" long zipper, mine is a bit too long, but it's okay since this is a nylon coil zipper, thus I can easily trim the excess zipper off.

Now go ahead and assemble your pouch by attaching the zipper first.

This adorable Japanese knot bag will surely brighten up your day. Great for daily errands, coffee date, walk at the park, although this type of bag is pretty well known as the project bag.

The front exterior is made out of 14 pcs of charm packs (5" squares). Below is the diagram

I quilted this bag with left over quilt batting, and pretty pleased with the result, it gave enough body so my bag isn't too flimsy, yet still light weight to allow it to drape nicely.

14 x Charm Packs 5" squares
1/2 yard cotton fabric for the back exterior
