Stamped Zippered Pouch: National Craft Month Project & Giveaways

March 4, 2016 by CraftPaperScissors

National Craft Month

It’s Day 4 of National Craft Month! This adorable zipper pouch, designed by Carolina Moore, will bring a new level of cute to your everyday needs. This fun craft is easy to make and just so useful! Don’t forget to join us on Periscope for a live-streamed craft every day this month. Plus, scroll down for info on how to win our epic craft giveaways!

Fabric stamping is an easy way to customize anything, and a zippered pouch is a great sewing project for a beginner or experienced stitcher! Use Plaid’s new fabric stamping line to customize this simple zippered pouch.

Stamped Zippered Pouch

You’ll Need:

  • 1 Fat Quarter lining fabric
  • 1 Fat Quarter outer fabric
  • 8-inch zipper
  • Plaid Fabric Ink
  • Plaid Fabric Stamp
  • Plaid Fabric Stamping mat
  • Plaid Fabric Stamping sponge
  • Iron & Ironing board
  • Sewing machine with zipper foot

Supplies For Zipper Pouch

Cut your fabric. You’ll need two outer pieces and two lining pieces, each 5” x 9”.

Cut Fabric

Use the sponge to apply the fabric ink to the stamp.

Add Paint To Stamp

Apply the stamp to the fabric, on top of the stamping mat, creating the image. Allow ink to dry for several hours.

Stamp Fabric

Sandwich the zipper between a lining piece and outer piece. Pin.

Pin In Zipper

Using the zipper foot on your sewing machine, stitch the zipper in place.

Stitch In Zipper

Use the iron to press the fabric away from the zipper.

Press One Side

Top stitch the zipper and fabric in place – this step is optional, but looks nice!

Top Stitch

Repeat by layering the outer and lining on the other side of the zipper. Pin.

Layer Other Side

Stitch the layers in place.

Stitch Other Side

Press the fabric away from the zipper. Give the inked area extra heat to heat-set the image.

Press Away From Zipper

Top stitch the other side of the zipper.

Top Stitch Zipper

Open the zipper halfway. This step is VERY important – if you forget to do this, it will be terribly hard (practically impossible) to turn the zippered pouch right side up when you’re done.

Open Zipper Part Way

Put the two outer pieces right-sides-together and the two lining pieces right-sides together. Pin both sides of the zipper in place.

Pin Zipper Ends

Pin the layers together, all the way around, leaving a 2” hole at the bottom of the lining.

Pin Layers

Stitch around the pouch.

Stitch Around The Pouch

Remove the pins as you go, don’t ever stitch over the pins.

Remove Pins

When you get to the zipper, stop. Add strengthening stitches by going back-and-forth. Then lift up the presser foot, move to the other side of the zipper, add a second set of strengthening stitches, and continue.

Stop At Zipper

Clip the corners to reduce the bulk.

Clip Corners

Turn the bag so the lining and outer layer are both right-side-out.

Turn Bag Around

Pin the hole in the lining closed.

Pin Lining Closed

Stitch the hole in the lining closed.

Stitch Hole Closed On Lining

Tuck the lining into the bag.

Turn Right Side Out

Your pouch is finished, and ready to carry whatever you need!
