Heart pouch tutorial

February 13, 2023 Leave a Comment

If you need to sew a really quick project to share with your loved ones, how about this one?

Heart pouch tutorialA pouch made out of faux leather/vinyl (I used oilcloth), with an applique heart, but not the regular heart. Let’s add a puffy effect to it.

Heart pouch tutorialYou need a 8” x 12” piece of vinyl.
On the back of this piece, draw a rectangle 1/2” x 6”. Draw it centered as shown below.

Heart pouch tutorialWith a rotary cutter and ruler, cut out the drawn rectangle.

Heart pouch tutorialStitch a zipper under the opening.

Heart pouch tutorialFor the next steps you need a heart template.

I used the 4” heart. Using this template, cut a heart from a piece of vinyl in a color that contrasts with the background vinyl.

Heart pouch tutorialThen cut out about 1/4” (3/8”)  from the paper template and use this smaller template to cut a heart from foam (the thicker the foam the better).

Heart pouch tutorialHere is the foam heart- smaller than the vinyl heart.

Heart pouch tutorialOn the back of the vinyl heart add double adhesive tape, near the edges. Add glue (generous amount) to the foam heart .

Heart pouch tutorialRemove the paper backing of the tape then center the foam heart – glue side down, on the vinyl heart.
Then add again glue on the foam heart…

Heart pouch tutorial… then center it on the background vinyl as shown. Finger-press the heart well, so it stays in place.

Heart pouch tutorialStitch close to the edge of the heart, then one more time (or even two times) inside the heart as shown below. The key is not to catch the foam into the seam.

Heart pouch tutorialThen fold the background vinyl in half as shown and stitch along the three edges.

Heart pouch tutorialThe pouch is finished. I think you can stitch it in less than half hour!
