Hey guys! First tutorial ever and I'm kinda nervous D: Hope this will be useful and understandable XD

Instructions

  1. Small dscf8549 1299624701

    Draw and cut you pattern from a piece of paper chosing the shape you want to give to your pouch. Draw and cut a straight line in the middle (long and large enough to place the sipper).

  2. Small dscf8550 1299624830

    Cut two pieces of felt.

  3. Small dscf8551 1299624895

    Draw a dragonfly and cut it, use the pattern to make one from a piece of felt.

  4. Small dscf8552 1299624957

    Embellish it! I used red glittered glue to make its wings sparkly and I embroidered the body with red thread.

  5. Small dscf8554 1299624978

    Now take one piece of felt (It'll be the front of your pouch) and embellish it. I worked on the wrong side and positioned the dragonfly where I want it to be and I drew random curls with a pen.

  6. Small dscf8555 1299625866

    I used backstitch and threads of different colours to embroider the curls.

  7. Small dscf8558 1299625285

    Pin your felt dragonfly and sew it in place with backstitch. I saw the wings with darker red and the tail + the head with black.

  8. Small dscf8567 1299625881

    Embellish untill you're satisfied. I added few gems and little silver pearls.

  9. Small dscf8632 1299625487

    Now the zipper. Place the zipper on the back of the decorated piece of felt and pin it (I had to cut mine cause it was obviously too long XD ) . Carefully place the second piece of felt on top and sew the zipper in between them along the hole you cut on the felt.

  10. Small dscf8638 1299625665

    Fold in half (you'd have 4 layers of felt) and sew along the edge with a blanket stitch. AND YOU'RE DONE :D
