Sew: personalized sequined pouches
I’ve added purple sequined pouches to the line up.
And made a few more turquoise:
In addition to the original pink and green:
Here’s how I made the sequined pouches:
1. Supplies:
drop cloth: 11″ x 14″
med. weight fusible interfacing: 11″ x 14″
cotton lining: 2 @ 11″ x 7″
zipper: 11″
fabric letters (tutorial here)
2. Fuse interfacing to drop cloth.
Center letters on one end and pin in place:
3. Zig zag stitch letters in place:
4. Sew sequins over letters.
5. Place zipper face down at one end then one lining piece:
6. Straight stitch with zipper foot then top stitch on lining to keep from getting caught in zipper:
7. Repeat for other end of pouch using other side of zipper:
8. Right sides together stitch side seams closed and miter corners:
9. Clip corners, turn right side out, press lining side seams open, press lining opening up and in 1/2″:
10. Top stitch lining closed. Push down into pouch and press smooth:

These are majorly cute! I love them. Very modern and colorful
Where did you get such pretty colors in the sequins?
Very cute! I know my girls would love these, and so would I for my own bag!
I think these might be my favorite pouches yet…loved the terrycloth ones from way back too though. Thanks for sharing, Jaime. Hope you have a great weekend.
