Beachcomber Pouch (2 styles) sewing pattern
Here’s a handy zipper bag to sew, with a number of different options included in the same pattern. It’s great for cosmetics and storage, but also cute as a clutch bag.
The Beachcomber Pouch is another fantastic pattern in the Beachcomber Collection, which also features a clutch, coin purse, and tote bag.

As a fun bonus, this includes an Add-On option for omitting the gusset and using a boxed bottom if you prefer.
