I was inspired to DIY these pouches by American Apparel.
The original retails from $40 - $70 @ their stores.
I made four in different sizes and colors. I love the contrasting zipper/fabric design.
Here's the original item from the American Apparel Website:
I got the faux leather fabrics from fabric.com (where I usually order my fabrics). I ordered 1/2 yard of each faux leather fabrics. You don't really need that much but that's the minimum yardage you can order from the website.
Materials needed:
1/3 yard of faux leather fabric
zipper (depends what size pouch you want)
sewing machine or fabric glue
Instructions:
I just followed anneorshine's video tutorial (Thanks Anne!) but made a few tweaks on sewing the zipper part. I had to topstitch it to have a more finished/professional look. Please watch Anne's video here.
