Knot and Thread's Pallas Pouches Tote Pattern

Sew up the perfect blend of sweetness, structure, and everyday function with the Pallas Pouches paper pattern by Kaitlyn Howell for Knot and Thread Design! These charming, stand-up zippered bags feature a classic wedge silhouette that opens wide for easy access to all your essentials.

The pattern includes instructions for two practical sizes—a quick-sew small pouch ideal for notions and lip balm, and a spacious large pouch perfect for cosmetics, tech accessories, or small hand-sewing projects. With bound zipper finishes, handy side wristlet straps, and stable flat bases, they sit upright on your sewing counter or vanity without tipping over.

Why We Love It

Notice the cover sample? It’s stitched in Ruby Star Society’s Starry Neon Pink! These pouches are extraordinarily fun to quilt up with simple straight lines or organic curves. Because they require modest cuts of fabric and foam, they make fast, addictive afternoon projects and thoughtful handmade gifts that look straight out of a boutique.  Or you can jump right into bag making by order some of the prequilted fabric that we have in the store!

Coral and Olive Pairing Ideas

• Match the Cover: Recreate the cover look with our fresh bolt of Ruby Star Society Starry in Neon Pink paired with coordinating bright accents!
• Precut & Stash Friendly: Put your Nature's Sketchbook or Onward + Upward fat quarters to work for sweet woodland or celestial-themed pouch sets.
• Use Your Foam Offcuts: Grab a pack of ByAnnie Soft and Stable—one 36" x 58" pack gives you enough stabilizer to make multiple pouch sets with room to spare!
