I was thinking about making pouches similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/speedy-pouches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comfort Stitching Speedy pouches<\/a> I made for the officer gifts. That pattern has a lot of binding, which is nice looking, but annoying to sew. All of these random bits of information contributed to my thoughts. The thoughts all sort of dovetailed when I saw this video.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48658\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48658\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Vinyl Pouch\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200216_143348_wm-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vinyl Pouch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I decided to use some scraps to make a pouch loosely based on this video. As you can see, I used some fabric scraps from the projects I have made for mom. I was lazy and the scraps were handy.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of having the ends of the zipper sticking out, I wanted to try encasing them in the seam.I am pleased with the way the ends came out, but I finished the zipper tab and it meant there were a lot of layers through which to sew. In the future, I will leave the sides of the zipper tab open in order to reduce the number of layers. This assumes, of course, I can finish them and they don&#8217;t show on the inside. Unlike in the video, encasing the zipper in the ends of the pouch means that this will not be a widemouth pouch.<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to try boxing corners. Boxing corners means that the pouch will not be as tall, but the user will be able to put 3D objects inside. I was thinking of thread. The boxing worked well, but I had two problems. First boxing vinyl is a hassle. The video shows fabric on the top. I think, if i make something like this again, I will put a fabric strip on the bottom as well. One of the benefits of this pouch is seeing inside and I would want to preserve that feature. Second, I chose a size (1.5 inches) that was a little too small. I think I would try a 2 inch square next time.<\/p>\n<p>The seams aren&#8217;t finished and that is always a problem for me, but I didn&#8217;t want to take the time. I would if there was fabric on the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>This project is not a loss. It may not meet my perfectionist standards, but I think it is perfectly serviceable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was trolling YouTube for some some reason I can&#8217;t remember and found a video for a vinyl pouch.
