ITH embroidery file bag

This ITH project shows you how to create a complete zippered pouch directly in the embroidery hoop – without any additional sewing. The finished pouch is not only cute and practical, but also versatile – for example, as a cosmetic bag or a small treat bag for walking the dog.

Perfect for those who want more than decoration
Unlike simple appliqué projects, this pouch has a functional design. The embroidery file guides you step by step through the construction of the zipper, lining, and backing. Ideal for ambitious beginners or advanced stitchers.
