Pouch on order

                        Hi friends ,Been a long time since I posted anything.                                                                               I am glad to tell you that I got a new order for stitching pouches                                    for a customer with kutchwork on it.Here is a glimpse of it. 

This is on the other side of the pouch.She wanted her sons's name on it.I will

                     share the method of stitching this pouch.                                                                         The dimensions are -

The basic cloth 11" by 6" -2 pieces

Lining cloth 11" by 6" -2 pieces

Canvas cloth for stiffness-8" by 4" -2 pieces 

A small size zipper  closed on both ends with cloth 

A lining cloth for pocket 11" by 12"

As you can see below,the canvas has been stuck by ironing onto the lining cloth and the basic cloth and lining cloth have been joined on the wrong side.

This is how the right side will look.

Now turn the lining cloth in and stitch around the four edges.

Do this for both sides.Then fix the zipper to both the sides of the pouch.

Now for the pocket,double fold the open side of the pocket and stitch along the edge.

Now fold in half and stitch both the sides on the wrong side of the pocket .

This is how the pocket will look when turned inside out.

 Now for the last step ,fold the pouch in half keeping right side facing   each other,place the pocket on top and stitch along the free end     Mark the line of stitching if you need  a  particular dimension.

My pouch is 9'long and 5'wide.

                             There you go,turn the pouch to its right side and you have it.

Smart pouch

   Hi friends,                                                                                                                                                                      I want to share with you an idea of a pouch which can be used for a wallet for  daily purchases or as a pencil pouch by students. It has two pockets too.                                                                                You will need two pieces of cloth of dimensions 9"by 6".You will need lining cloth of same dimension. I have used two layers of lining to give some strength to it. For the pocket we need two pieces of measurements 8"by 5".                                                            I have used plain cloth so that I can do some handwork on it. You can used printed cloth too.

       So now for the procedure. First fix the two ends of the zipper of length 7 1/2".Just take two strips of cloth of width of an inch, long enough to make a fold and keep along the upper and lower edge of the zipper and put a stitch across the cloth.So now your zipper is ready.

         Now  fix the lining on to the right side of cloth and stitch along the edge of the opening side of the pouch.

Now we have to fold the lining into the wrong side of the main cloth and stitch along all the sides.

Now for the pocket,first fold the open side twice and stitch along the edge.Then keep both right sides facing each other and stitch along the three sides.

Now we need to keep the zipper along the finished edge and stitch it.

Now keep the pocket on one side of the pouch and stich along the three sides.Thus you get two pockets one the pocket itself and the other the gap between the pocket and the main cloth.

Now fold the pouch right sides facing each other and stitch along the three sides.And there you go. Your smart pouch is ready.

This is one side.

And this the other.
