“B” is for Barbie

March 11, 2012

Sew: Barbie silhouette pouches

Birthday party favors for my girl #2 who is turning 6.

Complete with pink and white polka dot lining:

And some candy goodies:
Here’s how I made the Barbie pouches:

1. Using the cupcake toppers graphic I ordered from Party Paper Creations on Etsy, take a screenshot of the silhouette and print in black and white.
Trace the outline of the silhouette with a black Sharpie:

2. Apply double sided fusible webbing to the wrong side of black cotton fabric.
Using a light box place the silhouette right side down then fabric right side down on top:

3. Trace outline of silhouette onto paper fusible backing:

4. Cut out fabric on traced line, be extra careful around the eyelashes:

5. Iron silhouette onto pink cotton circle, in the end I used 3.5″ circles:

6. Prepare pouch pieces:
1 – cotton canvas 10″ x 14″
1 – med. weight fusible interfacing 10″ x 14″
2 – polka dot lining 10″ x 7″
1 – 9″ pink zipper
(I buy the zippers in bulk from zip-it on Etsy, she has tons of colors and sizes.)

7. Iron interfacing to wrong side of canvas piece.
Pin pink circle centered on canvas:

8. Zig zag stitch around pink circle.
Add black french knots on the inside edge of stitches:

9. Add white ribbon bow to ponytail with tack stitch.
Be sure to fray chek the ends.
10. Now place zipper at top edge, then lining piece right side down.
Use a zipper foot to sew seam.

11. Be sure to top stitch lining down into pouch as seen here:
This will prevent the lining from getting caught in the zipper.

12. Repeat process for other side of zipper attaching to other end of canvas:
13. Then sew side seams and miter corners:

14. Trim off the mitered pieces and turn right side out:

15. Press lining side seams open and press in raw edge 1/2″ at bottom.
Straight stitch bottom edge shut:

16. Push lining down into pouch.
Add ribbon to zipper pull, again use fray chek on cut ends:

17. Fill with candy or treats:
Ready for all the girls at the party:

And still so sweet on it’s own, Barbie you never grow old.

    Here I was all proud of myself for making some of your pouches for Pip's birthday party (which were a big hit btw!!) and then I visit and see your Barbie decoration. I bow to your awesomeness–these are fantastic!!

    And this just confirms it. I know you don't sleep. You just get too much done to do that too.
