Double Pocket Folder Pattern – Minki Kim | Sewing Illustration SI-BP22

A pretty place for all those little things you need to keep together! 💕

The Double Pocket Folder by Minki Kim for Sewing Illustration is one of those clever little projects that is as useful as it is fun to make. With two roomy pockets, it gives you a handy place to tuck away sewing projects, papers, stationery, patterns, notions or whatever else currently needs a home in your sewing room!

And, of course, this is Minki Kim we're talking about — so there's plenty of opportunity to bring your favourite fabrics into the mix. Choose coordinating prints and labels for a beautifully polished look, or dive into the scrap basket and make each pocket its own little fabric moment. Either way, it's a lovely project for showing off fabrics you really like.

The Double Pocket Folder is a great way to practise your bag-making and construction skills while creating something genuinely useful. It would make a thoughtful handmade gift too — particularly when filled with a few sewing goodies before handing it over!
