Double Zip Pouches and New Video

 

Watch the video

Hello, 

I made a few double zippers pouches a few months ago and record a video as well, but somehow the editing got shelved. However, this morning, I woke up with the idea of finishing the editing work! 

Since I got my new iPad 10 a few months ago, I prefer to edit my videos on my iPad. My favorite is the InShot app. I've been using the app for years. I wasn't able to use InShot on my previous iPad Air since it was no longer compatible, but with my new device, I can continue to use this app for all my video editing needs. What is your fave editing app? 

So yeah, now the video is live on my Youtube Channel. In the video, I scaled down the pattern a little bit. I used the doitrei pattern and reduce the height by 1/2 inch. It turned out pretty cute and just perfect for a wallet and even holds my iPhone 11. You can add tabs on both sides and turn the pouch into a hipster bag or mini sling bag! 

This pouch is very easy to sew especially for beginners who want to learn to sew with a zipper. I use quilting cotton fabric and all-purpose woven interfacing. The interfacing is only applied on the exterior pieces. You can always use it on both the exterior and lining if you want a more structured pouch or add batting on the exterior piece. 

Do let me know what you think of the video and if you have any questions, simply leave a comment under the video. I really enjoy making videos and I have a few that I still need to edit now and some I don't get to post on the blog (it's on my drafts actually). I'll publish the blog in the next few days or weeks. 

Here's another double-zipper pouch I made! I cut a few more pouches to sew and now I am waiting for the mood to kick in. LOL. Nowadays I am batching everything when I am working on orders. That way I can always have something to sew.

5 Quick Sew for The Kitchen

I need to make few stuff to freshen up my kitchen and I'm looking for ideas from pinterest. Something that is easy and quick to sew. Here are my list:

1. Heart Shape Pot Holders

I think it will be good as a host gift or housewarming gift, right? 

2. Cloth Napkins

I always need cloth napkins to send with my sons lunch boxes. They are handy and of course one of a kind. Make it in your children's fave print. I 

3.  Easy Hanging Kitchen Towel

I think this will be good for bathroom hand towel too. You know when you have kids, they just throw the towel around after using :((

4. Fridge Door Handle Cover

I don't find a tutorial specially for this, but I guess you can use this bag handle cover tutorial. It's basically the same. 

5. Sleeve protector.

This is one thing I need to make. The pattern is actually for gardening, but I've seen in Kdramas, they wear this sleeve while cooking which I think very good especially if you have to do a lot of frying in summer :D. 

What do you think? Do you make stuff for the kitchen too? What is your fave?

Thank you for stopping by!

Much love & Have a nice day!
