A while back I started my new series named ‘How it’s made’.
Where I show everyone how I make certain items I have listed in my shop; and, for
this post I wanted to share how I go about creating my multipurpose zipper
case.
Here it is from start to finish!
These are the materials I use for the body of the case:
The lining…
First I press all the fabric and apply the fusible
interfacing.
Next I sew those pieces to the white felt (This adds more
body and padding to the case)
Next I prep the faux leather bottoms…
Then sew them to the pattern fabric, like so:
Next I whip stitch my zipper…
Then sew the zipper to the pattern fabric (zipper facing
down)
Next, I sew the lining to the zipper and pattern fabric with
right sides facing together…
Then repeat on the other side:
Next I edge stitch…
Next, I place the lining pieces together with right sides
facing, and do the same with the outer pattern fabric and sew all the way
around—making sure I back stitch for the opening on the bottom where I’ll turn
the case inside out.
Once it’s sewn all the way around I open the bottom with my
seam ripper and flip the case inside out:
Next I sew the opening, and the case is finish. Then I add
the finishing touching with the rings and tassel…
…and there you have it! My case from start to finish.
