Patterns for zipper pouches and/or tote bags?
Title pretty much says it all... I'm looking for a tutorial for a beginning/intermediate sewer for little zipper pouches - ie, makeup bags, small purses, etc. Or tote bags.

P/SAIF always welcome, especially if you share your sticky baby dust!

I just looked for purses the other day. I found a couple of good sites, here is one that has over 100 free different styles:

The Domestic Dugout
I made this clutch over the weekend. I'm VERY new to sewing (just bought a sewing machine on Saturday, but have dabbled a little before), and this tutorial helped out a lot! Great instructions, and I was done with the first one in about 2 hours (I had a ton of trouble with my zipper). My second clutch, I made today, and it took about an hour.
I really like the gathers on the clutch. They were really simple too! You could probably change up the dimensions to make this a larger bag, if you want.
