This week is all about pouches! Not your regular zipper pouches but the FUN nested pouches, the kind that you cannot make just one. At least for me!
It's been a while since I make this trapeze zipper pouches. I usually make only one size, but this time I made more.
First is the black and white set, it was a custom order and I decided to make 2 full set. The customer asked for only 3 sizes. For the whole 4 sets, I only need 1/3 yard of each exterior fabric, lining fabric, interfacing and batting. I used cotton batting here and of course zipper of your choice. I used metal zipper to give a rustic look.
Then I decided to make another set in this pretty leaf fabric. It's a digital cotton fabric I got from local shop a few months ago. I only bought 1 yard, maybe I will ask them if they still have a few yards in stock. I really love it.
I really like using these trapeze zipper pouches to store things like pencils, crochet hooks, reading glasses, and wrist watches. I think they’re super versatile and you can do so much with them. As much as I love my bags, I've also made them as gifts for friends and family. If you're looking for a quick and easy sewing project, I highly recommend making these. The pattern includes 2 video tutorials for making quilted pouch and faux leather pouch.
And look, I got new heat transfer label!! I've been looking for this kind of label. You can find all sorts of fancy labels, even in small quantities these days. Sometimes they’re expensive, but if you’re like me, then anything is better than nothing! I ordered some multicolor ones and I think I'll get black and white later on. They stick great, and all I have to do is iron them. A decade ago I have to order from Indonesia for my labels in a small quantity. I even tried making my own label like in HERE and HERE (this is like 15 years ago!!)
New Label!! What do you think?
These handmade pouches are now available in my Etsy Shop and also my Webshop.
Hello, I'm so excited to introduce you to my newest pattern
Trapeze zipper pouch. I always love stackable pouches, but I want something different. Well, I love making zipper pouches for
myself or for gifts and this Trapeze pouch is just perfect for that. The 4 pouches are simply great for organizing your stuff whether to use them while traveling, for school or office stationaries or going for sewing /quilting gatherings. And when you don’t use them, you can simply nest them together and store them!
The pattern has 15 pages written in English with detailed photos, diagrams, instructions, and also several templates.
While I wrote the pattern using the quilted version for the pictures, I also included a video for sewing with faux leather and a couple tips about interfacing. Yes, I finally get to use the faux
leather/leatherette! I've been experimenting for quite some time now and I will write about it in my next post!
I also would like to thank my
fantastic tester team, for their feedback and suggestions. Check the photos
below and click through the link under each photo to check their other works!
Last but not least, thank you so much for your support! I can't wait to see your Trapeze Pouches. Please tag me on Instagram or Facebook if you make one.
