Online workshop – Learn to sew a zipped pouch

30th November 2020 By Lorna

Online workshop - Learn to sew a zipped pouch

Date/Time
Date - 30/11/2020
6:30 pm - 9:30 pm


Duration – 3 hours

**This workshop will be delivered virtually via the online video conferencing platform, Zoom. If you don’t already have a Zoom account, it is easy to set one up for free (basic package) via their website. On the day of the workshop I would email you the workshop joining instructions. Zoom allows 2 way communication between all participants and myself, allowing questions, feedback, demonstrations and conversation! It’s good fun and a great way to socialise with other people whilst sewing, during this period of lockdown.**

Learn to sew a zipped pouch

This workshop is suitable for those with basic machine skills (thread the machine, wind a bobbin, sew a straight stitch). It is a great introduction to zip insertion and a brilliant project for using up fabric remnants.

Learn how to insert a zip using a zipper foot and make a gorgeous lined zipped pouch. Choose from 3 different styles and a selection of fabrics to suit your style and the intended use. These zipped pouches can be used for literally anything – stationery, sewing kit, make up, board game pieces, playing cards, jewellery…….

They would make a fantastic personalised gift for someone.

You will learn:

  • How to apply interfacing to give structure to projects
  • Changing feet on the machine and use of the zipper foot
  • Inserting a zip
  • Attaching a lining to the pouch
  • Top stitching
  • Sewing gusset corners if sewing the ‘boxy’ pouch

 

  • Supplies:The following supplies will be sent out to you in the post prior to the workshop:
  • 2 different fabrics for the pouch – outer fabric and lining
  • Zip for the pouch
  • Practise zip and practise fabric
  • Interfacing
    There will be a choice of fabrics available – I will be in touch after you have booked with regards to choosing.
  • You will need:
    Matching or contrasting machine thread

    Your own sewing machine with zipper foot if you have one

    Scissors

    Iron/ironing board

    What else is included?:

    • Photographic step by step handout with instructions will be emailed to you after the workshop,  to repeat the project at home.

     

Cost £30

Lorna says:

“A lot of people are daunted at the prospect of inserting a zip. This is a great class to have a practice inserting a standard zipper and then put those skills into practice by making a gorgeous zipped pouch. Choose from 3 styles and a whole host of lovely fabrics. This would make a fantastic project to make for gifts, or even just yourself!!”
