Sewing tutorial: create your own pouch
Looking for a new sewing project?
Are you looking for a simple, easy sewing project with a little technicality (applying a pleated band)? Look no further! We have the perfect project for you: creating your own clutch. This DIY (Do It Yourself) project is not only a great opportunity to stimulate your creativity, but it will also bring you great personal satisfaction.
With our downloadable sewing tutorial, you can make a pouch 14 to 15 cm wide and 9 to 10 cm high. The dimensions are perfect for storing your small everyday items: keys, lipstick, business cards... or small sewing accessories, the possibilities are endless! If you prefer a smaller or larger pouch, you can simply change the print size percentage.
Our PDF guide includes everything you need to get started:
It provides detailed instructions for assembling your clutch. It includes tips on cutting and preparing the elements to be sewn, as well as instructions for assembling the clutch. You will learn how to create the flap frill with a 50cm x 5cm strip of fabric, and how to adjust the length of the fabric strip if you want a smaller or larger clutch.
For this project, we recommend lightweight fabrics like cotton poplin, gauze, double gauze, seersucker, etc. Choose fabrics under 140 g/m2. Since this pouch uses little fabric, it's the perfect opportunity to use up your scraps!
The pattern for the pouch is included.
