Make A Half Moon Printed Pouch

in Bags and Pouches, DIY Projects on 09/05/16

Accessorize your summer with.. popsicles!

Popsicle print half moon pouch

Red half Moon Pouch Pain

I have an addiction to sewing pouches and thought a “half moon” shape was perfect for a summer-time pouch.  I also love to print my own fabric and decided that a bright popsicle theme was in order.

Main image popsicle scraps

Isn’t the popsicle the cutest design?  I bought the popsicle design in the Silhouette Design Store and then created a repeat pattern in Silhouette Studio. After finalizing my design, I sent the image to be cut and was well on my way. Interested in printing your own fabric or making cool stuff, but don’t have a Silhouette machine? Great news – My Silhouette Challenge Facebook group is giving away a Silhouette Portrait to one lucky winner. See below for further details.

Want to make something similar.. Here’s what you need:

  1. Silhouette Cameo or Portrait
  2. Stencil vinyl
  3. Fabric ink
  4. Silhouette mat and tools
  5. Cotton fabric in 2 colors
  6. Interfacing – optional
  7. 9″ Zipper
  8. Sewing machine and supplies
  9. Iron and ironing board

Materials

Let’s get started..

Step 1 – Print your fabric. Not sure what to do? I’ve got a ton of tutorials on printing your town fabric. Check here and here to get started.

Step 1 print fabric

Step 2 – Set your fabric aside to dry. Once the fabric is dry, iron the fabric to get the wrinkles out. If you use a lightweight fabric, the fabric may become slightly distorted from pulling the stencil off.  Give the fabric a gentle tug in the opposite direction and then set back in place with an iron.

Step 2 iron fabric

Step 3 – Cut 2 half moon pieces out of the printed fabric. Cut another 2 half moon pieces out of the lining fabric. I made the pattern and hope to share it soon. Note – if you want the pouch to be a little sturdier, iron fusible interfacing on the backside of the exterior fabric.

Step 3 Cut Fabric

Step 4 – Cut the zipper to fit the pouch [ I like to measure inwards 5/8″ from each top side seam and mark a line with a disappearing fabric pen]. Cut the zipper to fit this measurement. From scrap fabric, cut a rectangle measuring 3″ x 2″ and make a zipper tab. Fold the rectangle in half and then fold each side inwards again to meet in the middle. Place the cut zipper end into the tab. With your sewing machine, topstitch on either side of the tab. Need more information on sewing a zipper? Try my tutorial here..

Step 4 Zipper Tabs

Step 5 – Place the zipper face down between the 5/8″ lines.  Turn and tuck the non-zipper tab end into the seam allowance at one of the 5/8″ lines. Pin. Change to your zipper foot and sew the zipper in place. Place the lining on top, sandwiching the zipper and stitch the lining in place. Repeat for the other side.

Step 5 Sew zipper

Step 5B Sew zipper

Step 6 – You are on the home stretch! Place the outside pieces right sides facing and place the lining pieces right sides facing. Pin in place. Sew with a 1/2″ seam allowance. To make a really nice SMOOTH curve, use a disappearing fabric ink pen and mark a 1/2″ seam allowance around the half moon curve. Place into your sewing machine and stitch together following the dashed line. Remember to leave a small 2″ opening in the lining. Press with an iron.

Sewing Alert – Notice how the outside seam is uneven on my red popsicle pouch? I rushed sewing the 1/2″ seam and wasn’t paying attention. I think it looks terrible and is such poor workmanship. Use the method above and you will be sure to sew an nice even curve.

Wonky Red Pouch

Step 7 – Notch the curves. Cut small notches into the seam allowance about 1/2″ apart. This helps to create the smooth shape. Pull the pouch through the small opening in the lining. Press again. Pin the lining opening closed and stitch closed.

That’s it!! Fun right? So what summer shape inspired you? Sunglasses?? The beach? fruit?

    This is so cute! I’ve been scared of working with zippers, but this pouch is so cute that I just might have to try it.

    P.S: I have the same ironing board as you! Ha

Working on a commission and a request for the colo Working on a commission and a request for the color terracotta. I’m thinking the top right vs the bottom left. And funny enough, this fits perfectly for today’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt “decision”

Earlier today I was working on a new pattern and t Earlier today I was working on a new pattern and then realized that my table had legs. 😂 While I’m excited to share about my upcoming tote pattern release, this photo took me down memory lane. My sweet boy Arlo turns 7 this week. He is always by my side and has been my shadow since the day he was born❤️ . He is often in my studio, patiently waiting, photobombing a tutorial or playing w/ my supplies.

I love today's prompt "from idea to product" for # I love today's prompt "from idea to product" for #marchmeetthemaker. If you swipe, you can see the the original. I made that group of block print quite a few years ago and this pinwheel is a motif that I come back to all the time. 

Do you block print or make your own designs? What would you like to create with your patterns or prints? Have anything in mind?
