Sample Sale - Zipper Pouch #5 (Sold)

Today this little coin purse is available as a sample. Sold - Thanks!

This is #5 from the template pieces document. 

The blue trim is lingerie elastic.  If you want to use 3/8" wide elastic like this here are the basics of how I do it:

1. Interface both pieces of fabric.
2. Baste the trim to one piece of fabric with the edge of the elastic about 1/8" from the cut edge.  Do no stretch it--just lay it flat.  I pin it at the top because it wants to curl, and then just hold it as I finish basting it in place.   
3. Sew the fabric pieces together.
4. Topstitch next to the elastic.

The fabric is from Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley collection.  The button is a pinback button.

It's lined in Railroad Denim from Robert Kaufman:

Sample Sale - Zipper Pouch #3 (Sold)

Today this zipper pouch is available a sample.  Sold - Thanks!

This is #3 from the Zipper Pouch templates.  P.S. Follow me on Instagram to get zipper sewing tips.  I've found IG is the easiest way for me to share sewing tips.  I'm trying to remember to use the hashtag #zippertips on all zipper sewing tips. 

Here is the other side:

This one has a patchwork pocket on the inside: 

This is the same pocket as in the Pintuck Wristlet pattern, but scaled down to 80% of the large pocket size. 

If you have the Pintuck Wristlet pattern, you can reprint the large pocket on page 12 at decreasing increments of 5%.  Then you'll have a whole set of curvy patch pocket templates to use in other projects!

Tuck Catch Clearance

I just got a bunch more nickel tuck catches, but have come to the conclusion they aren't something I can continue to keep on hand.  Having a few is fine, but I don't have the space for them in bulk. 

They have all been marked down 50%. 

• Small Nickel Tuck Catches
• Medium Nickel Tuck Catches
• Large Antique Brass Tuck Catch

They are really neat pieces of hardware, so I'll try a pre-sale them in the future. 

If you like them you can sign up (or update your profile) for the "hardware" email list.  Then the next time I order hardware you'll get a quick email letting you know tuck catches are available for pre-order.  I'll also try pre-selling turn locks--which are also wonderful, but not efficient for me to store as inventory. 

If you've wanted to try out a tuck catch, now is the perfect time!
