About the Quilted Mini Pouch
A flat, lined zipper pouch with no boxed corners, so it's the fastest bag in the line, and a key loop with a D-ring lets it ride on your keys as a keychain wallet. It's sized for cards, earbuds, a lip balm or a sewing kit. It's a good first zipper project, and it's quick to make in batches for gifts or a craft fair table.
