Last week I started two pouches for LeChallenge theme Reading. I thought some newspaper print would be suitable but I finished them yesterday. Only 5 days past due :)
I wanted to try new type of pouch. Inspired by @elnorac and her #jellyfreedomzipperpouchtutorial I prepared two rectangles. For some reason I like to make 2 at the time which was really handy this time around. The above pic shows that I do not measure much.
You get a second chance on making it right though. See I marked the middle on the second one! While making it I realized I don't really like to bind around a pouch and I prefer boxed corners so I changed things up. I actually didn't have #jellyfreedomzipper but I used regular endless zipper. When you open it you have 2 sets for 2 pouches. Perfect!
I really like the look the loop creates. Only the zipper ends are a bit twisted. I do have some plans on exploring this type of pouch but no idea when.
Here is closeup of the zipper beginning and boxed corner. No seam at that part. It's made out of 1 rectangle.
When I choose lining it must match in some way. This time I matched with the hot pink zipper in case you are wondering, lol.
Better late than never, right?! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try out that type of zipper as well, but they're pretty expensive. I found something similar on Ebay - 1m of zipper with 2 zipper heads - I've ordered them and am waiting patiently for them to arrive. Your bags are sweet - did you have any trouble getting the head onto the zipper tape?
ReplyDeleteThese are great. At least you got them done, even if you were a bit late xx
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Making two at a time = smart idea. Learn on the first one, adjust on the second. :-)
ReplyDeletevera, I always love the pouches you make and these are no different
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the pink against the gray fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of that style of zipper. Thanks for sharing. Your pouches are cute as usual, whenever they get finished!
ReplyDeleteThat's a new zipper to me! I'm always dreaming about making something for Le Challenge ... at least you get out of the dream stage and actually make! Love these little pouches :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty Vera! The linings are a really fun touch and a surprise when you open the bags up. I love the grey with the hot pink zippers!
ReplyDeleteI love all your makes, I am a huge fan. ;) Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful inside in contrast to the suble outside. CUTE!!!
