Sewing Of A Patent or PU Leather Pouch

The pouch in this video can be used in various sizes. Pattern to this is 11 x 8 1/2 inches, with in the corners a 1 inch square removed out to make box corners. It is a very user friendly pattern. Quilting, Applique, Embroidery etc. can be used to style or decor special occasions when making it.

I sewed this one pattern a day on a Live at Tiktok and completed with that live time for the first time. This Video includes the clipping from that Tiktok Live.

How I made it.

Here are the instructions.

1. Draw and cut out pattern to desired size. The desired size you choose should then cut out 1 inch square on each side at the bottom. (See pattern drawing above in photo).

2. Cut out 4 pieces of fabric each of the pattern. Either all the same or two of the same kind of fabric.

3. Place with 2 pieces of the fabric right sides together. Stitch a seam allowance of 1/4 inch on the sides and bottom. Leave on one side of one of them about a 2 inch unstitched section that will be used to turn the pouch in side out.

4. Press all seams open.

5. At the bottom bring the opening together to make square corners.

6. Take the one that does have the opening and turn inside out. Then take the other and insert with right sides together and meet accordingly at the top at seam allowances. Stitch a 1/4 inch seam allowance around top.

7. Find the area with the hole and pull through the fabric to form the bag or pouch. Press accordingly. Either hand stitch or machine stitch the hole close. Insert in as the lining.

8. Press.

9. Top stitch.

10. Either use velcro or snaps to bring together and close.

Actual size 4 inches by 3 1/2 inches

Box or squared corners 1 3/4 inches

Options.

You can use interfacing or batting to enhance the shaping and stiffen.

Quilting is another option.

polyurethane

The word PU in “PU leather” stands for polyurethane. PU leather is an artificial type of leather that uses polymers. Specifically, the polymer used in PU leather is thermoplastic. A thermoplastic polymer includes all kinds of plastic that become malleable when heated.

++++++++++++

PU leather, also known as polyurethane leather, is a type of synthetic leather made by coating a fabric base with a layer of polyurethane plastic. It is often used as an alternative to genuine leather in various products like furniture, clothing, and accessories. PU leather is considered vegan because it does not involve using animal skin.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Composition: PU leather is made by applying a layer of polyurethane (a type of plastic) to a fabric backing, usually polyester, cotton, or other synthetics.
Artificial vs. Real: It's a type of artificial or imitation leather, designed to mimic the look and feel of genuine leather.

Vegan Alternative: Because it's made from synthetic materials, PU leather is a popular choice for those seeking vegan alternatives to traditional leather products.

Durability: PU leather is generally less durable than genuine leather and can be prone to cracking and peeling over time, especially with frequent use.

Maintenance: PU leather is relatively easy to clean and maintain.

Cost: It's typically more affordable than genuine leather.

Other Names: PU leather is also known as polyurethane leather, pleather, faux leather, and synthetic leather.

Sample Content for Some Sections:

1. Introduction: Why Sew a PU/Patent Leather Pouch?

Patent and PU leather are excellent choices for crafting modern, sleek accessories. Whether you're looking to make a chic pouch to carry your essentials or a stylish gift for a loved one, working with these materials is a fun and rewarding challenge. Patent leather, with its shiny, glossy surface, is perfect for high-fashion, while PU leather is more flexible and eco-friendly, offering a great alternative to genuine leather. Both are ideal for DIY projects, adding a touch of luxury without the cost.

2. Materials Needed for Sewing a Patent/PU Leather Pouch

To get started, you'll need a few key materials and tools:

Leather Material: Choose a color and texture that suits your style.
Needles: Use a leather needle for the sewing machine, as these needles are specially designed to penetrate the thick material.
Thread: Nylon or polyester thread is preferred, as it's strong and durable.
Sewing Machine: Make sure your machine is equipped to handle thicker materials.
Cutting Tools: A rotary cutter or scissors designed for leather.
Edge Finish: Leather edge paint or burnishing tools to seal the raw edges.
Pins: Use leather-specific pins or clips to hold pieces together.

4. Step-by-Step Guide to Sewing the Pouch

Step 1: Cutting the Leather

Start by measuring and cutting your leather pieces to the desired size for your pouch. Use a rotary cutter and a straight edge to get clean, even cuts. Keep in mind that leather doesn’t stretch, so accuracy in your cuts is essential.

Step 2: Preparing the Leather for Sewing

Patent leather, especially, can be quite stiff. If you find it hard to sew, use a leather conditioner to soften it a bit before sewing. You can also pre-punch small holes along the stitching line to ensure that the sewing machine needle doesn’t get stuck.

Step 3: Sewing the Pouch Together

Use a longer stitch length (around 3.5-4mm) on your sewing machine to avoid perforating the leather too much.
When sewing around corners, pivot carefully, lifting the presser foot as needed.
If you're sewing by hand, use waxed thread for a smoother stitch.
Start sewing the sides and then attach the bottom piece if you're making a flat-bottom pouch.

5. Tips and Tricks for Working with Patent/PU Leather

Avoid Pinning: Traditional pins can leave visible holes in patent leather. Instead, use fabric clips or double-sided tape to hold pieces together.
Use a Teflon Foot: A Teflon foot (or walking foot) for your sewing machine will help prevent the leather from sticking to the presser foot.
Work in Small Sections: Leather can be challenging to work with, so take your time and sew in small, manageable sections.
Reinforce Stress Points: Use a backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam to ensure it’s sturdy.

6. Conclusion: Final Thoughts on Sewing a PU/Patent Leather Pouch

Creating a patent or PU leather pouch is a gratifying project for any DIY enthusiast, and with a bit of patience and the right tools, you can achieve a professional-looking result. Whether you’re crafting for yourself or as a gift, the finished pouch will definitely stand out as a stylish, high-quality accessory.
