The Project: A charming, boxy zippered pouch or utility bag featuring a clever internal wire-frame closure that allows the top to pop open wide and stay open on its own. Makes a great gift for women (makeup bag) or men (shaving kit). The pattern is free.

Size options:
o Small: Approx. 8.5" L x 5" H x 4" D
o Large: Approx. 11" L x 6.5" H x 7.25" D

Learning Outcomes:
o Inserting a zipper and making custom zipper tabs.
o Working with specialized structure (interfacing, fusible fleece, or foam stabilizers) to give the bag crisp, self-standing sides.
o Creating boxed corners and optional interior slip pockets.
o Installing internal metal wire frames into casing channels.

Skill Level: Basic to intermediate sewists who are comfortable operating a sewing machine and can sew straight seams.
