• 3 to 4 Fat Quarters of Quilting Fabrics 
• Soft and Stable Foam or Quilt Batting 
• 1-sided Fusible Interfacing 
• Zipper or Zipper Tape & Pull 
  * Specific fabric and notion requirements will be based on the size of pouch you are making. Read the pattern instructions to determine what those requirements will be. 
  
  

Refer to the pattern for cutting measurements and diagrams specific to the size pouch you are constructing.

We chose to piece the outer fabric panel, so the center accent fabric widths are as follows:

• Small – 3 ½”

• Medium – 4”

• Large - 4 ½”

Quilted Panel:

Prepare the quilted panel as directed in the instructions.

1. Fold and press the bindings strips in half lengthwise. 

2. Following the pattern details, create the pouch handles.

Use the pattern instructions to attach the zipper bindings and zipper to the quilted panel.

Attach the end bindings to the pouch following the pattern details.

We chose to eliminate some bulk in the seams by removing a section of foam before closing the binding. This removal will help make sewing the box corners in the next step easier. 

• Measure and mark the cutting lines for the boxed corners.

• Moving towards the zipper, measure and mark an inch away from the inner box corner line.

• Trim foam in between those two marks.

• Close binding as per pattern directions.

Using the pattern for measurement specifics, cut the pouch corners to prepare for boxing.

Insert handle ends into the box corner openings and sew to secure.

Bind corner ends as instructed in the pattern. You may find it helpful to use a stiletto to help guide the thick seams through your sewing machine.

Turn pouch right side out and press with an iron to shape.
