Quick Make: Pull-Out Key Holder

A handbag must-have! Stitch your own easy key holder with our watch-along easy video.

About the project

This simple Key Holder is so easy to make and can be made in less than 20 minutes! It's great for using up your pesky fabric scraps as you only need such a small amount. Plus, you can personalize your fabric colours and patterns for each key. Gone are the days of rummaging in the bottom of your bag, you're organized now! Why not try adding your own embellishments? Or you could even make it from felt as then you won't need to add any lining.

I've included the measurements of my cut fabric below, but you can adapt the pattern to suit you! (see video).

What skill level is this sewing pattern?

This is a beginner-friendly “quick make,” that you can follow-along with the video tutorial.

Quick tip!

When you're ironing your project, tuck the edges of your turning gap inwards for a neater finish.

What do I make next?

This project has quickly become our handbag essential, so if you're on the hunt for more handy projects like this, look no further. This Drawstring Pouch is perfect for holding your smaller cosmetic items that easily get lost in the bottom of a bag. And the handbag organization doesn't stop there! We've whipped up this Book Cover project that we use to take our latest read out and about with us. Not forgetting our craft stash, of course that needs a tidy up too. Try this Sewing Pouch to keep your stitchy notions safe.
