Easy Lined Pouch - First Sewing Project

[@Freespirit_Sofia]

Omg!!! I did it!!!! I don't have a sewing machine so I did it by hand and it came out perfect!!!! Sooooo easy!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Glad it worked out well for you! c x

[@Freespirit_Sofia]

@@TheCraftsChannel I'm so excited, thank you again!!❤️❤️

[@jshb9793]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've made pencil pouches in the past for schools etc., but I needed a quick pattern to cut the overall sewing time down. I've committed to sewing 200 pouches to hold sewing notions. This just might be the one for my project. It can't get much easier than this. Thumbs up!!!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Wow! That's a commitment. Glad we can make your life a little bit easier. I've always found that it saves loads of time cutting all the fabric first, or at least in large batches. Although it's monotonous it does make a difference to how quickly you can get through the project, c x

[@littletownknitter8070]

I came here to see if I could make them for my classroom students this year. Their plastic pencil boxes don't stay on their desks and there is not a lot of room for them.

[@bethperrine6431]

This is genius! I’d watched awhile back, and then searched thru my watched list to revisit this brilliant technique. Thank you so much!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

It's so simple isn't it. I love anything that takes gives a neat lining without the faff, c x

[@Cindy-re1cc]

I absolutely love it! I make cloth envelopes for my grandkids. I put money in them for Christmas and birthdays. They look forward to it, I also embroidered their name and year. So they have started a collection. Thank you for the video, just learned a new way of making them. They will love it too!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

That's such a lovely idea, glad you like the video, c x

I was pleased to find your tutorial. Any other tutorial was confusing. You've saved my sanity. Thank you for this video!

[@shellydavies8642]

Yet again a very straight forward video of yours, which I am a big fan of, for their ease of instruction, gets to the point and shows you everything you need to know, and non of the things you dont, like wasting fivewhole minutes on what you and your family and the cat have been up to this weekend, or how your feeling today…not that I mind, just for the sake of instructing someone else on how to do a project,it gets irritating if you have to fast forward that stuff. You could teach so many people on here how to do it right, you’d make a fortune! Keep up the great tutorials!

[@menawatiethannoo9817]

I also dislike the silence or irritating music 😢 of some tutorials

[@SharynC]

First time making a lined pouch and I was trying to figure it out on my own. Good thing I went searching and found your video because your clear instructions saved me a lot of time and angst! Thank you.

[@aspeaks3241]

I needed this so bad. Had my pattern and inner lining with pockets on it, but for the life of me I could not figure this out on my own. 3 min watching you and I had it. Thank you!!!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Glad I could help! It's much easier when someone physically shows you isn't it? c x

[@bumpbumpwee]

Thank you so much for sharing. I have just done 12 pouches for my kid’s friends, as farewell gifts. Used to do the old method and i find your method is easier and has a nicer finish.

Hiya Corinne, Thanks so much for sharing I’m gonna give it a go💫

[@mn2mx563]

I just made one with scrap fabric … sewed by hand. Super easy … great project

[@MaryJaneCambria]

Thank you so much, I’m new so I understand now, it makes sense how to change the sizes. ❤

[@user-fr3qv1mj4m]

I wasn't sure how it would turn out at first but it turned amazing! I made this for my niece for her birthday. My husband even got roped in to help choosing fabrics. It was fun.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Great job!

[@menawatiethannoo9817]

Thank you. I love how you explain everything.

[@christinalindahl7569]

That was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you, from Sweden! 👍

[@berniecelee5062]

Bright idea 💡💡👏🏻👏🏻 You’re very crafty ! I got scraps and I will make pouch for the girls and myself …I can get rid of my ziplock bag where I store my lipstick, dental floss etc in my hand bag ….😉 and for other stuff rolling around loosely in my handbag. Thank you very much !!

Brilliant thanks 😊

[@dickworrall123]

You could also put a button hole on the flap and 2 buttons on the envelope. That way, it would be reversible.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Yes, that would work perfectly, c x

Corrine ... thank you so much for sharing your tutorial. I am making tote bags for charitable causes and wanted to include something different. I am going to add a tab and a split ring to your pouch and hang it from the handle of the tote bag so that keys/phone/coins can be safe inside the bag and easily found. (I hate scrabbling for keys at the bottom of the tote bags!) I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next video. Take care, keep safeand thank you again for sharing your skills

@@TheCraftsChannel was it just the one size template?

[@TheCraftsChannel]

@@MaryJaneCambria I believe so. You can enlarge/reduce to your own requirements once you've seen how it comes together. To be honest, if I only a had a small piece of really nice fabric I'd cut the width I wanted and make the pouch whatever size length was available, c x

[@marikesmit]

Hi, thank you for this lovely tutorial. I was wondering if there is a way to make this style of lined pouch, but with a boxed shape for a pack of playing cards?

[@TheCraftsChannel]

Erm, I'm sure there must be a way but I can't visualise it in my head right now. You can box bottom the bottom corners by sewing across them at 90 degrees to the seams but I think with this pouch the top flap would look awkward as it won't fit properly. You might have to make a pouch with a gusset and I'm pretty sure I've never done a demo for one of them. I've done a similar pouch demo for Angel/Tarot card packs so this style of pouch does hold a pack of cards fairly well, c x

[@karentoynton8948]

What glue have you used please. The stick looks a much easier way, the pens do not last long if doing a bigger item. Thank you for sharing with us.very nice cases.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

I use a chunky Pritt stick. You only need a little bit to stick the fold and make sure you put the lid back on fully so the glue doesn't start getting tacky in the tube, c x

[@claireizzard5853]

I can't seem to find the template for this pouch. I have subscribed and went on to find it but I can't.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

I'm struggling to download it too but the site is still undergoing some maintenance which could be the problem. The template is simply a rectangle with one short edge trimmed into a shallow triangle. You should be able to see the shape at 0.50 in the video. Hope this helps, c x

Where is your iron from?! 🙏🏻 and what cheaper but kinda good sewing machine can u recomend? 🌟 my old one is dying but i need a new one. The one i had sucks too even if it was expencive.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

The little iron is made by Prym, you may have to look online for one. I've been using Janome machines for decades now and never had a bad one. Might be worth looking for a second hand one, I got a Janome for about £35 for my daughter and she's not had a problem with it in 4 years, c x

[@jessicarabago3358]

Can I make the lining silk and the outside a stretch material? And if I can wat type of needle should I use? Please n thank you.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

I would think you could. I use a standard needle everything, maybe try it on scraps of silk and stretch first to see if they sew together without any puckering, c x

Hi a great make, where do I find the dimensions?

They can be any dimension. If you want a pouch that's 15cm wide by 10cm deep with a 5cm flap you would need to cut fabric 17cm wide by 27cm long and this includes seam allowances, c x
