How to Make a Small Fast Stitch Pouch/Bag
1 10 x 6 Inch Outside Fabric
1 10 x 6.5 Inch Pellon Fleece Interfacing
1 10 x 6.5 Inch Lining Fabric
1 Snap or Velcro Piece or Your choice of fastener
Lay outside fabric piece on Pellon Fleece Interfacing
Press/Iron to adhere the 2 pieces together
Lay the Lining Fabric Piece on top of the Pellon Fleece Interfacing you just
joined,and press it smooth
Now trim around the 4 sides to make sure the 3 layers are even on all sided.
Pin to keep it even, and then sew all around the 4 sides, 1/8 inch in from the edge
Again, press all layers making sure they are all even Next, sew a zigzag stitch all around the 4 corners to enclose the bare edges.
You can use a matching thread or a contrasting thread. Contrasting thread will
show every little error, but the contrast is interesting...
just use your own ideas on finishing After you have zigzagged all around, press again and fold the bottom 1/3 or so up to
within 2-3 inches from the top, making sure all sides are even.
At this point you can add half of what you are going to use as a fastener. …
a snap, velcro, magnetic snap... whatever you decide to use... put the one half
on before you sew the folded piece. Now you are ready to sew the folded piece to make the pocket. Making sure all
sides are even, sew a straight stitch down both sides, securing the ends with back stitch.
Again, press and fold down the remaining top 2-3 inches of the top, over the pocket to make the closure piece.
Sew the other half of the fastener you are using onto the top part and fasten to
make sure you are pleased with it so far.
Next you can add a button over the snap/velcro/etc... to add a little pizzaz... And you are done! Congrats... now you can use your talent and ideas to add special
stuff to this bag.. just to make it personal and extra special.
You can use most any size of fabric to make this any size... experiment and enjoy!!
