On this sewing tutorial I’m gonna show you how to make this sanitary pad pouch or cloth pouch pouch without a zipper. It’s a great little stash buster. It’s really quick, I think you can make it in under 20 minutes. If you made it out a waterproof fabric it would be great for cloth pads, or if you wanted to use it for any other things, there’s no reason why it can’t just be a little pouch. For trinkets, toys, little things that you need to pack in your bag. It’s a winner for sure.
