The Cat Pouch was the very first pattern in what became my animal pouch collection. I love the way the zipper sits right between the two sets of ears, it gives the pouch such a distinctive cat face shape. This is one of those patterns that's just fun to sew. It's a nice-sized pouch that works for all kinds of uses, and you can add tabs and a strap to turn it into a little cat purse if you want.
About the Pattern
The pattern includes 7 pattern pieces and written instructions with 24 color photos walking you through every step. A complete supply list and cut list get you started, then you follow the photos through construction. You only need about a fat quarter each of your main fabric and lining. Knowing how to sew a zipper is helpful, though I did have one pattern tester for whom this was her first zipper, so don't let that stop you. A 9-inch zipper works perfectly.
