The Iris Pouch is a beginner-friendly zipper pouch pattern with a classic star quilt block and a boxed bottom that helps it stand up on its own.

Named after my late mom, Iris, this pouch holds a special place in my heart. She was always supportive of my creative journey and loved everything I made for her. The Iris fabric from Liberty that I chose for the cover pouch reminds me of her. She loved travel and I would make her zipper pouches over the years as I learned to sew. This pouch is a beautiful way to carry on her memory and spirit.
