"C" is for Chevron #3

Sew: monogrammed chevron pouches

Zippered navy chevron pouches with bright colored monograms and lining to match:

(Each pouch measures 12″l x 7″h x 1.5″d at base.)

After making that last batch of chevron totes I used up some scraps to make these pouches:

Each with a personalized monogram:

Or in this case a single large letter:

Here’s how I made the chevron pouches:

1. Supplies:

chevron: 13″ x 17″

med. weight fusible interfacing: 13″ x 17″

lining: 2 @ 13″ x 8.5″

zipper: 12″

fabric letters (how-to here)

grosgrain ribbon for zipper pull

2. Fuse interfacing to wrong side of chevron.

Pin letters in place on one half:

3. Zig zag stitch letters in place to secure:

4. Place zipper face down on one end then lining:

Straight stitch with zipper foot and repeat for other end.

5. Top stitch chevron in place to prevent chevron and lining from getting stuck in zipper:

The top stitching creates a nice contrast finished edge:

6. Stitch sides together and miter corners:

7. Turn right side out, press side seams open, press in bottom lining edge 1/2″ and top stitch closed:

8. Push lining down into pouch and press.

Add ribbon to zipper pull.
