tutorial : fun fabric flower

this is the tutorial for fun fabric flower.

first cut 6 pieces of  fabrics 6"diameter and 1 piece of  fabric 4" diameter.

once you have all the pieces , fold the bigger pieces (which will become the flower petals) into half and then half again like in the picture below.

you will be having all 6 pieces folded into quarters.

next sew at the end of it with running stitches and connect all six pieces together. you could do it by hand or machine but i prefer sewing it by hand as i can adjust the distance between the stitches.

as for the smaller pieces (which will become the center of the flower) i stuffed it with rags from fabric or you could stuff it with cotton fiber and stitch it closed.

thats it, very easy and simple ! if you have any questions , drop me a line :)

enjoy your new fabric flower!

elly style in plain black

ive never actually sewn a plain fabric for bags and this would be the first time im doing it and loving it! see how the shocking pink zippers contrast with the black fabric. its the regular elly style tote bag with 3 inner pockets (1 zippered).

with matching shocking pink zippers for the inner pocket.

just another wristlet that is 'easy to envy' in green :)

tutorial : pyramid pouch

here's the tutorial for pyramid pouch that i made recently. i've mentioned in my previous post that i'll post the tutorial so grab your pen/pencil and paper or just print this tutorial out :)

first gather all the stuff you need to make one :-

- cut 1 outer fabric 10 1/4" (26cm) x  6" (15cm) - interfacing is optional

- cut 1 fabric for lining 10 1/4" (26cm) x 6" (15cm) - interfacing is optional

- 1 zipper 6"

- 1 strip of ribbon 8"

the instructions are pretty simple. i guess the pictures tell a thousand words.

*just to notify that ive used the same fabric design for outer part and lining of the pouch. and i dont use interfacing. (interfacing will make it more stabilized and structured tough!).

first place the zipper facing up on one of the shorter ends of the right side of fabric (lining). next place another fabric (outer) right side facing the first fabric on top of it and sew it in place. (pictures above)

now basically you're done for one side of the zipper. as for the other side of the zipper again place the zipper on the right side of fabric and place the other fabric on top of the zipper (like in the pictures above). its kinda like 'sandwiched' the zipper in between.

sew it and now you're done with zippers! next open it up and adjust it so that the end of the zipper is place in the middle of the fabric pieces. i cut a slit on both fabric to mark its center. then sew it right through. (pictures below as references).

as for the other end of the fabric, line up the zippers so that they match and pin in place. next place your ribbon on the outer part of the fabric facing in and pin in place again. very important note : make sure your zippers are open at this point!

sew it all the way across the zipper and leave about 2" opening to turn it over (2" opening marked with a blue line). once you're done with it , turn it over through the opening you left and stitched it close.

well thats it! enjoy your new pouch and happy sewing :)
