Sew: sequined monogrammed pouch
Every little girl (and big girl) needs some bling on their monogram.
These pouches are for 5 year old twin sisters Catherine and Margaret:
The perfect sized zipper pouch for anything and everything with a pretty bright floral cotton print on the inside:
Here’s how to make the sequined monogram pouches:
1. Cut fabrics: (below is for one pouch)
1 – drop cloth exterior 11″ x 14″
1 – med. weight fusible interfacing 11″ x 14″
2 – cotton lining 11″ x 7.5″
1 – 10″ zipper
fabric letters (see how to here)
sequins & beads
2. Fuse interfacing to one side of drop cloth.
Pin letters in place at one end, 2.5″ from short edge:
3. Zig zag stitch in place:
4. Sew sequins on top of letter.
5. Lay exterior right side up, place zipper right side down at one end then place lining right side down on top of zipper:
6. Using a zipper foot sew right edge of zipper then open lining and top stitch:
7. Repeat process for other end of drop cloth, zipper and other piece of lining:
8. Now place right sides together and sew side seams and lining bottom, be sure to keep 4″ open at one lining side.
Miter four corners:
9. Clip miters and turn right side out through lining side opening.
Slip stitch opening closed.
Push lining down into pouch, press and add grosgrain ribbon to zipper pull.
