New Video Tutorial: Making Standing Pouch

 

If you're looking for gift to make for the holiday season, you might like this Standing Pouch! You can use scrap fabrics or even orphan blocks to make this pouch. 

I finally finished editing the video and now it's up on my Youtube Channel!

I upgraded my camera recently and I am still getting used to it. Even though it's not much difference from my previous camera but this is the first time I am filming the video. I forgot to use manual focus so there's  a few de focus part in the video! 

Any way, if you love turning fabric scraps into something beautiful and functional, the Lily Standing Pouch might just be your next favorite make. This compact quilted organizer stands upright for easy access, making it perfect for storing sewing notions, makeup, stationery, or travel essentials. And the best part? 

I provided the measurements in the video, but if you like more thorough step by step photos and instruction the PdF pattern is available for purchase at ETSY and my WEBSITE.

The Lily Standing Pouch is more than just a project—it’s a celebration of slow-made values, creative reuse, and the joy of making something with your own two hands. The pattern is now on special price both on ETSY and WEBSITE until November 6th! 

I made a few for orders in the last couple of months and received lovely feedback from my customers, this is one of them.

Slim Zipper Pouches

 

Slim Pencil Cases

I have not done much sewing since Ramadan started but I have a few projects that are ready to sew when the mood strikes and I have time. Yes, bacthing your work does help! I have many projects (mostly wallets and small bags) that are ready to sew now. 

Today I finished these 3 slim pouches. I've always wanted to make these pouches. They are so useful to keep a few pens or digital pens, ear pods, or even brows and lipstick, and eyeglasses. 

I used the small size template from the Trapeze Zipper Pouch pattern and added 2 inches length-wise. I placed the template 1" away from the fold and then cut the fabric piece accordingly. 

I created the templates in such a way that's easier for you to resize them. Just like these pouches. Here's the comparison with the original size. They are so cute! 

Watch Now: How to make a quilted zipper pouch

These pouched are quilted and my current fave is walking foot style quilting. Well, I am using my Jack sewing machine so I do not really use the walking foot. But the Teflon foot that I am using works out fine. 

I added a wooden zipper pull using the suede string. I have a couple of suede strings I bought (impulse buying) from Amazon, and glad I can use them.

This is a super-duper easy project that you can sew over the weekends. I have the videos for the quilted version and the faux leather version on my Youtube Channel. I am thinking of making a couple faux leather slim pouches next, maybe sometime next month. Right now, a lot of things going on, and my mind is sort of all over the place. First thing firts! 

Thank you for stopping by! 

Happy Sewing,

Double Zip Pencil Pouches

Hello,

Last month I made these pencil pouches for gifts. It was Sunday morning and my son said he needs a gift for his friend's birthday in the afternoon. I need to make something that's easy and quick. 

When I said I'll make a pencil pouch, he immediately agreed. I've wanted to make this style of pencil pouch, anyway. 

I used the Doitrei Pattern for the double zipper pouch one. (The pattern is now on sale in my Etsy Shop)

It's super easy. From the Double zip Pouch pattern, I extended the width from the pattern to 10 1/2 Inch and proceeded as per the pattern instructions.

This really makes a great gift for anyone. With multi compartments, they can easily stay organized and also they can keep their canteen coupons and ID Card (which are frequently forgotten ~ sigh)

This is my fave gifting pattern now since I love collecting scraps I can easily use them like the blue stripe I used here is from my previous project. 

By changing the fabric print, you can make gifts for men or women, or boys and girls. 

Well, everyone always needs pouches. All kinds, styles, and sizes of pouches. 

If you need to make last-minute gifts, it's time to grab the pattern.

You can purchase from the Webshop (use coupon CVG20) or in my Etsy Shop (it's on sale through Monday!)

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a nice weekend,
