About the pattern

Tidy is a box-shaped pouch made from just two panels: the boxed corners give it a flat base and square ends, the zip runs the full length and tabs at the zip ends make it open wide. It is fully lined with every seam hidden.

Two sizes: Pencil (22 × 7 × 7 cm) and Make-up (22 × 12 × 10 cm).
