Yarrow Pouches in Riverbend

Cutie cute cute alert! Yep, can’t resist these little nuggets. These are my Yarrow Pouches in Riverbend!

I had to make these Yarrow pouches as soon as I got my Riverbend fabric. It’s such a fun way to play around with small pieces and come up with different color combos. Plus, I knew the Yarrow pouches would look irresistable.

For these Yarrows I used zipper by the yard because somehow I had the most perfectly coordinating zippers for these! Some are from Zipper Zoo and some from Zipper Valley. Plus I love using the zipper pulls where you can add a nice chunky zipper pull. They’re the icing on the cake!

I love that these hold a little stash of cards and folded bills, plus have room for some of the smaller extras you need to keep on hand like chapstick or a floss stick or some hair ties! You never know! I think these would make a perfect bridesmaid gift! Well, any kind of gift really, but you know.
