Terrycloth pouches with bright, tropical punch colored linings:
A custom order for a 75th birthday party.
Although apparently 75 is the new 50!!!
(Half had pink embroidery, the other half had green.)
A nice favor (it was filled goodies for the party) that’s useful to the guests.
I did five with turquoise lining:
Five yellow:
Five fuchsia:
And five green:
But I think they look best all lined up together:
Here’s how I made the pouches:
For a 12″w x 9″h x 1″gusset pouch:
(1) terry cloth @ 13″ x 20″
(2) lining @ 13″ x 10″
(1) fusible interfacing @ 13″ x 20″
(1) 12″ white zipper
ribbon for zipper pull
1. Cut terry and fuse interfacing. Send off to embroiderer.
Pick up completed pieces:
2. Cut lining pieces ready to go:
3. Begin by sewing in the zipper.
For a full how to pouch tutorial go to my post here.
4. Then side seams and miter corners, turn right side out:
5. Press seams open and stitch bottom lining closed.
Push lining down into pouch and press top edge smooth:
6. Add ribbon detail to zipper pull and ready for use.
Happy 75th Birthday!
