Learn how to sew a quilted tassel pouch with this easy tutorial from Retro Mama. It’s perfect for beginners and a fun way to use up leftover quilt blocks or try improvisational patchwork. The finished pouch measures 8″ by 5.5″. Just the right size for carrying small essentials like makeup, pens, or sewing notions!
One of the prettiest details is the handmade tassel attached to the zipper pull, made from embroidery thread for a playful touch. The tutorial also shares clever tips, like using a triple stitch around the pouch to create stronger seams, ensuring no puckering at the zipper ends, and adding a neatly fitted lining (intentionally cut shorter so it nests smoothly inside). Once you make one, you’ll want to sew a whole batch of these gorgeous quilted zipper pouches. They’re great for gifts, storage, or everyday use!
