Drawstring Jewelry Pouch

I made the jewelry pouch pictured here before I found this tutorial, and since I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, I’ve just noted my own variations below.

1) I cut my circles 16-1/2″ and 12-1/2″ (7″ and 11″ in the tutorial).

2) Before I made the interior pockets, I inserted a 5″ circle of template plastic beneath the stitched set of small circles. I stitched all around just outside the edge of the plastic, then made my pockets by sewing from the edge of the plastic to the outer edge of the small circles.  If you use the smaller size shown in the tutorial, the plastic shouldn’t be necessary.  I only used it to provide a firmer base for my finished pouch.

This pouch makes a wonderful gift. I’ve given many of these away, and everyone loves them!

    Oh fun. I never thought of making my own jewelry bag. Now I can carry my bracelets around in style even :)

    Be careful, Sheree. Don’t show it off too much, or you’ll be making a bunch for everyone else!

    Drawstring bags are great for organizing your backpack. Put all the small backpacking gear in drawstring bags and put the drawstring bags inside your backpack.
