Fold-over clutch, metal zipper

Fold-over clutch, metal zipper
I'm hot for fold-over clutches. I love Clare Vivier's gorgeous leather ones (aside: what I wouldn't I do for a stack of leather and a belt driven Juki?) and I'm spying them all over the (interwebs) place. I have a personal policy of not spending more than $50 on a bag. I ruin them. Supplies: Metal zipper, at least 12"Exterior and lining fabric, at least 13.5" x 24" and a bit more for zipper bindingFabric for binding Cut both your interior (lining) and exterior fabric to 13.5" x 24". You'll need to cut your zipper (with it zipped) to 11.5". Next, you'll make the binding for the ends of the zipper. Cut two pieces of fabric 2" x 3.5" or so, I like to have it a little long while I'm working. Open the strip back up and line up one long-side raw edge of the binding with the raw edge of the zipper, right sides together. Next, attach the zipper to the fabric. Use a zipper foot to stitch closely to the zipper. Zippers can be trick with an interior and exterior fabric. Related:  Sy väskor

Pleated Clutch Tutorial I'm very excited for my first tutorial! I love making zip pouches, they are so fun and come together very quickly. But beware, they are very addicting! It's hard to make just one. This bag finishes at about 11"x6.25" with a divided pocket on the inside. It's nice and sturdy due to the fusible fleece attached to the lining. You will need: For the outer fabric- (2) 5.5"x18" and (2) 2"x11.5" Lining fabric - (2) 7"x11.5" and (1) 8.5"x8.5"(pocket) Light weight interfacing - (2) 5"x17.5", (2) 1.5"x11" and (1) 8"x8" Fusible fleece - (2) 6.5"x11" Matching Zipper - at least 12" (Mine was 14" because that's what I had on hand.) Optional:Outer fabric - (1) 2"x2"A .5" D-ring Alrighty, lets get started. Take the 2 large outer pieces and line them up on your cutting mat or use a ruler to mark it for the pleats. Starting from the outside fold the fabric on the first line and then match it up to the second and pin it. They should look like this. Now you need to round the bottom corners.

Tutorial Cosmetics bag with pleats | After working hours As promissed in my previous post, here is the turorial for the cosmetic bag with pleats. It is easier than it looks, also if you are beginner in sewing, you should be able to make it.

Tut på fodral till våtservetter Ska försöka mig på att göra min första, och kanske sista, tut = tutorial! Se och lär .. Eller förvirras, kanske är min pedagogiskt lärande sida inte den bästa! 1. Välj ett tyg till insidan och ett tyg till utsidan! 2. Jag har alltid sytt med raksöm och sedan sicksack, men börjat gå över till OL mer och mer för att slippa dubbelt arbete! När du sytt ihop på båda sidor så vänder du så att rätsidan hamnar utåt. 3. På min bild har biten hunnit skrynkla till sig lite, men notera lilla kanten som blir! 4. Det är det tyget som blir inuti som ska ligga utåt! 5. Som ni märker så är bilderna från olika projekt, men tog bilder på det jag hade liggandes .. 6. Så här bör ditt fodral se ut nu! Jag har haft fodralet till kleenex, men behöver förstora det lite .. Vill du så behåller du det så här, funkar även till våtservetter, annars kan du sy hörn! 7. Jag har sedan sytt ca 1 1/2 cm in! Vänd sedan rätt! Tadaa!!! Lycka till!

Introduction to Interfacing Share this: This article has kindly been provided by Leah Taylor former owner of Sewbox, this article and others can be found on their blog www.sewbox.co.uk/blog Buying interfacing can be very confusing for a beginner sewer. Over at Sewbox we currently sell non-woven fusible interfacing in charcoal or white, and knit fusible interfacing in black or white. What is interfacing? Interfacing is an additional layer applied to the inside of garments, in certain areas only, to add firmness, shape, structure, and support to areas such as collars, cuffs, waistbands and pockets; and to stabilise areas such as shoulder seams or necklines, which might otherwise hang limply. Interfacings come in two main types (fusible or sew-in), three main weaves (non-woven, woven and knit), and in different weights (light, medium, heavy weight). When you buy interfacing, you need to decide: should you buy sew-in or fusible interfacing? Sew-in or fusible interfacing Non-woven, woven or knit interfacing

withheartshapedbruises - hur du syr en necessär Jag har ganska länge velat ha en necessär från tiogruppen. Tycker de är så himla fina, men lite väl dyra. När vi tog med "sy en necessär" som en lucka i sybingon, och jag dessutom hittade ett tyg i rätt stil kände jag att det var dags att sy en själv. Du behöver: ▷ Två rektangulära bitar av ett stabilt tyg, jag klippte mina i 40 x 24 cm (min necessär blev alltså ganska stor). ▷ Ett blixtlås som är minst lika långt som tygets långsida. ▷ Nålar ▷ Tråd ▷ Måttband ▷ Sax Vik ner en cm på tygets långsida, nåla fast blixtlåset och sy nära blixtlåsets tänder. Äger du denna typ av pressarfot är den ypperlig för ändamålet! Gör likadant med det andra tygstycket. Då ser det ut såhär! Lägg tyget räta mot räta och sy ihop de två andra långsidorna med en cm sömsmån. Lägg sen tyget så att blixtlåset är precis över sömmen du just sydde. Nu kommer den lite trixiga delen där du ska forma hörnen. Ungefär såhär ser det ut när nålarna sitter i längs alla fyra hörnen.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Pattern - bribe me! My own make up bag was in need of some attention. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, hardly ever and a quick look inside my bag reveals congealed mascara, eye-shadow colors that haven’t changed since the early 90’s and some supermarket brand lip sticks. I do have a couple of nice mineral foundation powders that I love and do wonders for my skin, but the rest needed to be sorted out and updated. The one I designed and made is just a little bigger than the bag I already had, so that it can accommodate all the new make up goodies I am going to buy myself, as well as a few travel sized bottles of shampoo and shower gel I can slip in when I go on vacation. The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell. Now my husband wants one too for his shaving supplies and toiletries.

Lined Drawstring Bag Tutorial I love making bags! In my opinion, you can never have too many. Especially little bags, they are just so handy! I whipped up one of these bags right before Sewing Summit to carry my DSLR camera and thought you all might enjoy a little tutorial to make your own! *For additional sizes and custom sizing check out the pattern version here. *Use a 1/4” seam allowance unless otherwise noted* 1. Ready to make some more? Don't forget you can easily customize your bags by incorporating patchwork!

the people have spoken - artsy-crafty babe With an overwhelming majority, the aqua purse won! Thanks for all your input. I should have listened to my gut - that was the bag I intended to make available in the first place, but then I started playing around, resulting in the orange one. I do plan to revisit the design of the orange one, but in a larger size. It really is a cute bag, but too small for me. I should have used a tripod to take photos of the two bags because in the photos I posted, the aqua one looks larger, but in reality both bags are about the same size. As you can see, I whipped up another one. Do you recognize the fabric? Over the weekend I'll make another one and take photos for the tutorial. ***The pattern is ready, the Phoebe Bag!

Hur man syr en tygkasse i papperskassemodell Jag skrev i ett tidigare inlägg att man kunde titta på en mjölkförpackning om man inte visste vad som menades med avsydda hörn. Fick en fråga av Fröken Lavendel angående detta, hon blev inget klokare av mjölkförpackningen. Kanske är det så att mjölkförpackningarna inte har samma konstruktion över allt i landet? Nu verkar hon ha klurat ut problemet i alla fall, av hennes blog att döma,men eftersom jag ändå skulle sy en kasse så fotade jag lite steg för steg. Idén är alltså den samma i en kasse, fast man vänder de avsydda hörnen inåt i stället för utåt i botten.Så till tyget: Den här gången har jag sytt av ett väldigt stadigt bomullstyg med små strukturvävda rutor och ett litet blomtryck. Sy först sidsöm+ bottensöm. Botten "trycks upp" så att hörnen bildar trianglar med spetsen utåt. Sedan viks trianglarna ner över bottensömmen. Det här tyget var så pass stadigt, och lika snyggt på avigan som på rätan, så den här kassen fodrade jag inte.

Mini Messenger Bag Tutorial - Doing Splendid My daughter has a friend whose birthday is coming up soon and we needed a gift. Her friend loves reading books, so we thought a little bag that she could carry a couple of books or her Kindle would be a perfect gift! I found this post from Crazy Little Projects and decided that with a bit of changing of the pattern and adding a few extra things, we could make the perfect little bag! So our very own pattern and the Mini Messenger Bag tutorial was born! *This bag is just the right size for a smaller Kindle (affiliate link). It is just a little bit too small for the bigger Kindles (affiliate link).
