Make a Valentines Ear Bud Pouch- Part 1

2/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Do you need a small Valentines Day gift suitable for young & young at heart?
You can create one of these heart shaped mini pouches, they’re fast, easy & so useful. These pouches are fantastic for the storage of ear buds (earplugs), jewellery, lip balm, coins &/or pop some chocolates in it for treats on the go. I used my
Bernina 350 sewing machine & found myself addicted to making these!
Note: This is part 1 of a 2 part series of blog posts.  Make sure you visit again tomorrow for part 2.

Supplies Needed
Cutting
  • Draw out the heart pattern by folding a 4 x 4” piece of paper in ½ and referring to the pictures below, draw & cut out the heart pattern.
Drafting the pattern
Cutting out the pattern
  • Cut 2 hearts from the medium weight fusible interfacing using the heart pattern.
  • Cut 1 piece of fabric 5.5” x 5.25”–front of pouch, 1 piece-5.5 x 5.25-lining, 1 piece 4.75 x 4.5-front of pouch & 1 piece 4.75 x 4.5-lining.
  • If your zipper is longer than 4 ½” you can cut it & zigzag a stop at the bottom of the zipper so you do not loose your zipper pull. You will need to find a #1 foot or open toe foot for this.
  • Cut an O-ring tab out of the front of pouch fabric 2 x 3”.
  • Mark a line on one of the interfacing hearts 2” down from the top horizontally & then 2 more lines on either side of the 2” line, ¼” out from this line as shown.
Measuring 2" down from the top
Measuring 1/4" on either side of the 2" line
  • Cut the interfacing heart on the ¼” lines that were drawn as shown. Discard this center slice of interfacing.
