Bright & Cheery Matching Pouch Set: Handy Drawstring + Mini Treat Pouch

There’s something so satisfying about sewing a set of coordinating pouches—especially when they’re bright, playful, and built to be useful. Today I’m sharing my favorite features of the Handy Drawstring Pouch (now in three sizes!) and the Mini Treat Pouch, plus tips for mixing bold solids with contrasting gingham to make a truly eye-catching duo. This popular pair are now being offered together in one cost saving bundle.

Mix & Match: Bright Solids + Contrasting Gingham

1. Choose a vibrant solid for your main fabric—think tangerine, lime, or fuchsia.
2. Pair with a high-contrast gingham for your lining or back/side panels.
3. Add sew in tags for extra cuteness
4. Top off the look with a coordinating drawstring or button to tie everything together.
