“S” is for Seersucker #3

June 1, 2012

Sew: monogrammed seersucker pouches

These will be end of the year teacher gifts (and one for each of my kids too!).

I paired seersucker with solid bright lining fabrics to make fun combinations.
My favorite is the bright pink:

But the orange is great too!
And navy is so classic:

Here’s how I made the pouches:

1. Supplies:
1 – seersucker fabric @ 13″ x 17″
1 – medium weight fusible interfacing @ 13″ x 17″
2 – lining fabric @ 13″ x 8.5″
1 – zipper @ 12″
fabric letters
ribbon for zipper pull
2. Fuse interfacing to wrong side of seersucker:
3. Center fabric letters on upper half of seersucker and pin:

4. Zigzag stitch letters into place:

5. Place zipper face down on top edge of seersucker then one piece of lining fabric:
Straight stitch using zipper foot.

6. Repeat for other end with other side of zipper:
Be sure to top stitch lining down in place to prevent from getting caught in zipper.

7. Sew side seams and miter bottom corners:

8. Trim excess fabric from mitered corner:

9. Turn right side out and press in raw edge of lining, straight stitch closed:

10. Push lining down into pouch and press.  Add ribbon to zipper pull.
Ready to take to the beach or pool, summer is here!
