Bunheads Unisex-Adult Ouch Pouch

Product Information

Alternatively you can stitch the sides starting at the bulky centre around the zipper and only stitch down the side, then flip the piece so you can stitch the second side also starting from the bulky centre. Then stitch along the bottom separately. You would then do the same thing for the lining side. Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew together the red and white units to create the red cross. Then sew the side panels, followed by the top and bottom units as shown below. Navy Exterior Fabric – (1) 2″ x 3-1/2″ unit, (1) 5″ x 3-1/2″ unit, (1) 9-1/2″ x 2″ unit, (1) 9-1/2″ x 3″ unit, (1) 9-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ unit. Fantastic work! It looks so good it could be store bought, although you see the love sewn in! Very pleased with the product! Thank you! Place the front pouch exterior piece right side up. Centre the zipper, teeth side down with zipper pull to the left, aligning the top edges. Baste zipper in place.

I like to press the seam allowance under to give me a nice easy press line to use as a guide when hand stitching. You can use either a ladder stitch or slip stitch if you prefer. Using the zipper foot on your sewing machine, topstitch a straight line across the zipper end tab. I will often create two parallel lines approximately 1/8″ apart, or stitch straight over my first line of topstitching for some added strength at this point. Red Fabric – (2) 1-1/2″ squares, (1) 3-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ unit, (2) 2-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ units for zipper tabs. In this instance I have chosen to use a lightweight cotton batting (simply because it was sitting as a leftover piece on my cutting table). Most commonly I use leftover pieces of my wool/poly blend batting and I think the extra loft and resilience gives a more structured feel to a pouch, and allows it to stand on its own a little better. NOTE: This method is suited to plastic zipper types which can easily be trimmed and stitched through . Metal zippers can not be so easily manipulated, and therefore it is best to determine the pouch size based on the size of the metal zipper.

While this seems like it should be a fairly easy step, the transition between the bulk created on the exterior side and that of the lining can be difficult for some sewing machines to handle. You may find a walking foot to be helpful. Place the lining piece wrong side up on top of the piece just sewn. Pin, glue or use clips to secure the lining in place.

If you haven't taken a training course with Dark Angel, you should consider it. I took the direct action response training, and it was fantastic. Taught by experienced personal, with real life experience which will hold your attention through out the course! Note: As you can see in the image below, I don’t move my needle closer to the zipper teeth, which is an option. I like to see the accent colour of the zipper tape and find not having to move my needle more helpful when switching between feet. However, all sewing machines differ in the type of zipper foot they have and the finish they provide, so don’t hesitate to experiment with this step to see what works best for you.MOM TRENDY ♥ KID FRIENDLY - YOU FILL.

Thanks so much! Thank you for an awesome product for allergies/asthma! You make it easier for kids and parents to carry life saving meds without carrying a obvious medical bag. Place exterior pieces and lining pieces right sides together. The zipper tabs are bent towards the lining, and the seam allowance from the zipper tape is directed toward the exterior pieces. Today, I am sharing the instructions for how to make what I am lovingly referring to as an ‘ouch pouch’– but once you understand the basic method, you can easily adapt these instructions to make any size pouch you require. Fold the zipper tab in half widthwise with wrong sides together. Press. Unfold and then fold each short end in to the centre crease as shown. Fold in half again. Press. Make 2. Press pieces away from the zipper. Be careful not to place heat directly on the zipper teeth as this may cause the teeth to warp ever so slightly, making the zip difficult to slide.

Starting with the end beginning with the zipper pull, trim the ends of the zipper tape so each side extends 1/2″ beyond the metal teeth stops. We continue to ship to Europe although we advise that certain countries are taking longer to process items through customs than others. I made a couple of these pouches last Christmas after being inspired by a similar one Susan @thefeltedpear shared on IG. I played around with the proportions until I was happy with the size and shape, and scribbled down all my notes in my pattern drafting notebook. This year, when I decided to make a couple for my nieces I went straight to my notes and got to work – everything is so much easier when the hard work has already been done for you, so I thought I would share my process here, on the blog, so you can make some pouches in time for the holidays too :). first off, I bought this for my wife because of the name alone.... don't take that to mean it isn't good, its fantastic quality, but the name is great. I bought it for her to keep on her baby diaper bag, which is also kinda her purse, in the event of scrapes and burns etc....
