Sewing Pouch Tutorial

Designed to lie fl at for travelling, the felt lining doubles as a pincushion and needle holder.

A ¼” seam allowance is used throughout unless otherwise stated
F8th – fat eighth.

 MATERIALS
 ◆ F8th cotton fabric
 ◆ 9x12” felt
 ◆ 7” co-ordinating zip
 ◆ 4” mini rickrack (optional)
 ◆ 2½”-diameter circle template
 ◆ neutral thread for piecing and topstitching
 ◆ ¼ “ foot and zipper foot
 ◆ circle template (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)

 CUTTING
From cotton fabric, cut:
9x7½” for back
5½” square for pincushion
4½x4” rectangle for pocket
2 3x1” for zip ends

From felt, cut:
9x5” for front
9x7” for back 

ASSEMBLY
1. To make the pincushion circle, use the 5½ ” square of fabric and fold to find the centre. Centre the circle template on the reverse and draw a circle with a pencil. Leaving ¼ ” seam allowance, cut and remove the centre.

2. Hold the fabric along your finger and stroke the drawn curve with a needle  to score it (as in needle-turn appliqué). 

3. Snip the curved seam allowance and tack the raw edge back. Press a ¼ ” seam allowance along the right-hand side.

 4. Place the fabric square right side up on the felt front (9x5”), lining up along bottom and left side. There will be an overlap at the top. Pin. 

5. Using ¼” foot, sew slowly through both layers, around the circle, ⅛” in from edge.

6. Top-stitch an ⅛” in along the pressed right side. Remove the tacking stitches.

7. To make the pocket, press the top edge over ¼” twice and top-stitch to neaten. Add rickrack trim (optional).

8. Line up pocket face down on fabric front, along sewn right edge and bottom. Sew ¼” in from the raw edge, reversing at the top to secure. 

9. Press out into place and pin to cover the felt. 

10. Press the overlap of the fabric square over the felt at the top left, and pin to complete the front. 

11. To add your zip, change to use a zipper foot. Fold each 3x1” fabric piece in half. Pin to cover the ends of zip. Top-stitch each in place.

12. To attach the zip to the front, centre the completed front below the zip teeth, top-stitch close to the edge. Turn over to reverse and check the zip covers pressed to the raw edge of the fabric. Trim. Sew a parallel line of stitching to secure.

13. Place 9x7½” fabric back on the 9x7” felt back, lining up along sides and bottom. Press the excess fabric over the top. Pin.

14. Centre above the zip, pin and topstitch into place. Check reverse and trim fabric as for the front if necessary. Sew a parallel line to secure.

15. To make up, open the zip, fold in half with felt on the outside (wrong side) lining up front and back. Pin corners and edges, making sure the fabric in the fold is fl at.

16. Change back to ¼” foot. Sew ¼” around the edge, reversing at the start and finish to secure, rounding corners. Sew a parallel second line of stitching for extra strength.

17. Trim the seam allowance around the corners. Turn through the zip opening, smoothing out corners to finish.
