Sewing Machine Applique Zipper Pouch

The Flickr Super Swap that I made a zipper pouch for has ended. My package has been well received by my swap partner. I anxiously await the arrival of my surprise and will share it with you when it arrives. In the meantime, I have had zipper pouches on the brain. I still had denim on my cutting table from lining the bag I sent my partner. I decided to use it as a base for an appliqued pouch for myself. 

I used a loose weave fabric for the sewing machine body. Over time, the edges will fray for a raw edge finish. For the machine knobs, I used orphaned buttons from my stash for that old time feel.

 Embroidery floss was used to stitch the threads and a stitch length dial. To complete the look, I added a scrap of Joel Dewberry fabric as the current work in progress.

The pouch is just large enough to hold everything I need for on the go sewing.
Happy Sewing,
Bianca

  3. Bianca! Love this. I've been brainstorming a modern/creative cover for my sewing machine and serger. I love the idea of doing something along these lines!! The button and hand stitch detail ... it's all fantastic! BRAVO!
