Glam Sweater Pouch

 

Remember the Glam Sweater Purse I made? Well, I made it a little buddy. I like having a pouch in my purse to corral all those little things that can otherwise just create clutter. Things like mints, chapstick, hand gel, extra contacts, etc. Keeping them in a pouch keeps my purse a little more organized and also makes those things easier to find.

When I bought the yarn for the Glam Sweater Purse, I didn’t yet know what I was going to do with it. The store was having a buy 2, get one free sale so of course I bought three. I only needed two of the skeins for the purse, and decided to make this little dude with the extra skein.

I added a zipper and lining to mine. I’m not adding instructions for that, but this tutorial is almost exactly the same way I did it.

My finished pouch measures approximately 8″ across and 5″ tall.
