Make A Valentines Ear Bud Pouch –Part 2

2/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Today is all about fun & sewing with your sewing machine & finishing up the Valentines Ear Bud Pouch. The prep work is behind us! I’m using my Bernina 350 sewing machine, the #37- ¼” foot & the #4 zipper foot. Check out yesterday’s post below if you missed the cutting instructions.

Sewing
  • Lay the interfacing top & bottom of the heart fusible side down to the wrong side of the 5.5” x 5.25” front pouch fabric, making sure to allow for a ¼” seam allowance to be drawn all around each piece.
  • Pin the other 5.5” x 5.25” lining piece to the front fabric as shown and cut out on the seam allowance lines.
 
  • Fold the top of the heart top pieces in half along the straight edge & mark the centers as shown. Do the same for the bottom pieces.

  • Fold the zipper in half & notch with scissors as shown on both sides.

Picture
  • Matching notch to marking, pin the zipper right side to right side of top front of heart fabric as shown.
Picture
  • Pin the lining top piece right sides against the wrong side of the zipper, matching the marked fabric & zipper notch as shown.
Picture
  • Insert a zipper foot on your machine and set the needle position as far left to the left as possible.  Sew the zipper to the top pieces using the right edge of the foot as your guide.
Picture
Tip: Remove pins, engage needle down function & move the zipper open as you go, this helps to allow for a straight line of sewing.
  • Press the lining & the top fabric away from the zipper.
Picture
  • Matching the notch & markings, pin the bottom front piece right side down to the right side of the zipper and the lining piece right side down to the wrong side of the zipper as was done with the top.
  • Sew as with the top pieces.
  • Press as with the top pieces.

  • Trim any excess zipper to make your heart front look uniform. Top stitch the fabric on each side of the zipper, approximately 1/8” on either side of the zipper.

  • Press the fusible side of the other heart interfacing to the wrong side of the 4.5 x 4.25 outside fabric, pin to the same sized lining fabric, draw a ¼” seam allowance & cut it out as with the front pieces.
Picture
  • Place the backing & lining fabric wrong sides together.
Tip: I used a fabric glue stick to adhere them together.
Picture
 
  •  Make the O- ring tab by folding the 3” length of the 2 x3” fabric in half, fold each side into the center & press one more time so that you have a pressed edge & folded edge as shown. Clip; ready to stop stitch 1/8” in from edge on both sides.
  •  Insert the ¼” foot on your machine & place the O-ring on the tab, fold it over and sew it to the upper left corner of the back fabric as shown using a 1/8” seam allowance.
Picture

  • Place the backing fabric right sides down to the zippered front fabric with the zipper opened to the center, right side of lining facing up, pin & sew with a ¼” seam allowance. Make sure your needle position is centered.
Picture
 
  • Trim the seam allowance close to the stitching as shown.
Picture
  • Turn the pouch to the right side through the zipper, poke out & smooth the point & corners, Press & top stitch 1/8” from the edge.

You're almost there!

Your Valentines Ear Bud Pouch project is complete. Think about your fabric stash & what colours you have to make a Valentines gift for someone special.

A ¼” foot, zipper foot & a Bernina sewing machine is all you need to make someone’s day. A little chocolate would'nt hurt either!❤️
Wishing you a Happy Valentines Day, I hope someone is sweet to you!
