Zippered Cross Body Pouch

Hello there,

Hope everyone is keeping yourselves warm with this terrible winter. I wanted to show the cross body zippered pouch I made for my daughter.  This bag measures around 6.5"X8". 



I attached a small fleece heart shaped embellishment to the front. 

           

For the first time, I made a video tutorial for this bag. As there are tons of tutorials in English, I made this one with my native language Kannada.

Hope you had a wonderful year. Wishing you a very happy NEW YEAR filled with HAPPINESS and PEACE. 

Love,
Jyothi

Quilted Double Zippered Pouch

Hello there,

Its been a while I posted anything here. All of a sudden, I started feeling a little weird about showing off my work!!! But few of my friends started asking me why was I not writing any blog posts. Then again I met some new friends. They looked at my blog and were motivated to take their sewing machines out!!!!!!!!!! What else would I need? If I inspire 1 out of 100 people, spending my time writing blog posts is worth it.  

I have done so many sewing projects in a span of 4-5 months. I will be adding them eventually. First let me share the pouch I did in an evening. 

This will be a gift for my sister. She wanted a pouch for quite a while....finally I  got some time to do it.

I used leftover scraps from "Cotton and Steel fabric line, which I used for one of my big quilts. I quilted cross hatch design....not sure if it is visible in the picture.

The finished pouch turned out to be 8"x6". Looks perfect for my sister's usage.
If you are a beginner looking for this type of double zippered pouches,  here is the link for a tutorial by Venessa at Craftygemini. I did my own measurements and shapes. Now I wish I added another zipper to the lining too. Also, I added batting to the outer layer and medium weight interfacing to the lining. Here is another picture which shows lining and zipper tabs. 




I hope you had the first snowfall by now....if not feel free to visit Michigan. we have plenty of snow!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Love,
Jyothi
