Supplies:

• 1/3 yd fabric
• curtain grommets
• snap, button, or Velcro
• scissors
• ribbon
• carabiner
• template

Click here to download the template.

Steps:

1. Print template and cut out. (The template measures 7.5 inches by 6.5 inches with .25 inch seam lines.) Pin template to fabric and cut out twice.

 
2. Pin the two pieces right sides together. Sew all 4 sides, leaving an opening, approx. 2" wide, on one of the long sides for turning. Tie off threads, snip corners, and turn.

 

 

 

 
3. Press with an iron. Turn edges of opening in, pin in place, and top stitch shut. Tie off threads and snip off ends.

4. Top stitch the short sides with 1/4" seams. Tie off threads and snip of excess.

 
5. Find the center of the fabric, marking with a small "x". Align grommet template center with mark on fabric and make template marks.

 

 

 
6. Pin around template marks to hold both fabric layers in place. Use small, sharp scissors to cut out circle for grommet. Remove pins.

7. Place grommet half (with raised edge) in center of hole. Then put other grommet half (with prongs) over raised edge and press down firmly with your hand.

 

 
8. Cut a piece of ribbon 3" in length and use a lighter to melt the ends to prevent fraying.

 
9. Fold short sides of fabric inward 2", overlapping in the center. Pin in place. Fold ribbon in half and slip into one of the pinned ends, loop on the inside and a little hanging past the edge of the fabric.

10. Sew ends shut, removing pins as you go. Tie off threads and snip off excess.

 

 
11. Turn the pouch right side out and press seams.

 

 
12. Measure to find the center of the two sides of the opening. I marked the centers with a pin. Sew on a snap or piece of Velcro to help keep the poop bag roll inside.

 

 

 
13. Attach the carabiner clip to the ribbon loop. Put the poop bag roll into the dispenser, snap it shut, and feed the end of the roll through the grommet.

14. Clip the dispenser to the leash so that you always have a bag on hand to pick up after your dog!

If sewn according to the size of the pattern, it is really large for the size poop bags I have. I'm wondering if the bags come in different sizes. I accidentally made one 4x2.5" (measure twice cut once, not the opposite) and it holds a new roll of bags sized 12.6 x 9" perfectly.

I made the second one sized as suggested and it seemed really wide. BUT, that said... I loved this pattern and it's exactly what I was searching for! Thank you so much for sharing it.
