Zippered Paper Pouch Video Tutorial

 

My video tutorial for making a Zippered Paper Pouch has been posted on Splitcoast Stampers!  

 

This one has been in planning/progress mode for quite a while.   I made my first vinyl covered projects including a pouch last July and have been dabbling with ideas since that time.   In September I did a video of general concepts for using vinyl + paper for Spiltcoast Stampers.  More ideas kept popping up and soon I was zipping through my little stash of Pellon iron-on vinyl.  I discovered that you can buy it by the yard at Joann's.  Sale + a coupon and I was in business for making some really fun stuff! 

The Zippered Paper Pouch video was my first attempt at videotaping at the my sewing machine.   There was a bit of a learning curve and a few hiccups getting that all squared away.  I could have made a blooper reel about as long as the finished one!  

  

The written tutorial with step-by-step pics can be found on the SCS site.

KITTY KEY COVER

3D Thursday Guest Designer

 

My wonderful friend Twila Davis from Stamp A Little Longer asked me to be a guest designer for her 3D Thursday feature.  How fun!!  The button below takes you Twila's blog with the PDF for this project.

 

 

My project is a cute Kitty Key Cover.  (How is that for alliteration!)   

One of my childhood pets was a lovely gray angora cat with a very original name- Smokey.  This kitty's happy expression reminds me so much of her.  I can imagine her rumbling contented purr.

 

Pull the charm to conceal the key. 

The diecut pieces are covered with transparent vinyl to protect it before stitching the front and back together.  I have a series of posts with projects using iron-on vinyl.  The vinyl has opened a new wave of ideas for me.   I have a video of vinyl basics and one coming soon for sewing zippered pouches.  I have few more ideas that I need a bit a of time to work on!
