This pouch is a lifesaver on the road trip. I organize my essential stuffs into it. It occupies small space in glovebox, but it holds many many things.

It has 1 zipper pouch, 2 pockets and 20 transparent zippy bags. So totally 23!

In the first zipper pouch, I put all the tiny items like pins, paper clips, safety pins stuffs like that.

In the pockets, I keep business cards, paper and pen.

In the transparent zippy bags, I organize first aid kit, tablets, scissor, glue, cellotape, small make up kit, hair elastic, batteries, lotion, hand sanitizer, wet tissues, nail cutter, thread and needle.

It is truely lifesaver pouch during travel. Hope this instructable will help many...

Take scrap fabric, place zipper on it. Trace the zipper shape and cut the fabric along the traced line.

Now start sewing around the zipper. Zipper has been installed in the fabric.

For making pouch, measure the size of the zipper and cut another piece of fabric into square shape. ( here my zipper length is 5 inch, so i cut the fabric 6 by 6 inch)

Place the square fabric on backside of zipper fabric, pin it and sew around the edges of square.

Zipper pouch is ready!
