Pouch Made In Patchwork Method From Scraps Of Fabric And All Sewn By Hand Sewing.
If you been following through with the the few of my blog posting you would have read were my sewing machine has encountered some unfortunate complications and is out of commission and needs repairing, as well as my iron which totally burned out the same week.
This week I thought I will stop feeling sorry for myself and the sewing machine and do work just the same way by doing a small sized project by hand sewing.
I started by having a few small sized scraps sewn into patchwork until it reached approximately 9 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches, with the seam allowances 1/4 inch.
I then cut out a piece of fabric the same size for lining purposes. Hand stitched them together with rights sides together all the way around leaving approximately 2 inch opening to allow it to be turned inside out. Optional you can use pinking shears to protect against fray. Turn inside out.
Fold to form a flap like envelope look.
Sew or stitch up the side by using a slip stitch along the sides of pouch.
Optional. For top stitching the pouch, I used a basic embroidery stitch.
For closure I used velcro, but snaps can be used.

In the video you will see that this can go into 3 to 4 different pattern designs as a pouch. Zipper arrange in different positionings. However, I decided to go with the flap pouch look.
I gather sometimes its good to slow down and smell the coffee of hand sewing. I really had forgotten the relaxation it has similar to crochet.

Happy Sewing 🧵🪡✂️
PS. Also, sorry for the unpressed look on this project as I not only at the moment do not have a sewing machine working, my iron is not working either and it burned out.
