Before we start please bear in mind that each cricut can be different, what works for my machine may not work for yours. Always run a test before making any projects
Visit my Cricut home page and cut out all your parts. https://design.cricut.com/landing/profile/61885f9fce8cbd26112567e4 The sections in pink are external sections and the pieces in green are all internal sections.
You will also need batting if you are making this from cotton or some sort of heavy to medium stabilizer. The stabilizer you can’t cut using your cricut but you will have to hand cut your batting if you are using that method.
for my tutorial I’m going to cut a medium weight canvas that i have dyed and screen printed. If you can’t afford to pink fabric mat you can use strong grip transfer tape as a little hack. Place the transfer tape sticky side up so you keep your mat nice and clean. You will need to insert your rotary cutter into your cricut machine and cut.
If Im cutting canvas I choose the canvas setting and select more. The cricuit cuts no problem but if you do want to send it through again just press the cricuit button without unloading the mat.
Cut the other sections of fabric, for the next part i’ll be using regular cotton so i’ll select the fabric Medium Fabrics (like cotton) button. Let the cricuit cut.
You should have :
2 external sections 11″ wide x 6″ tall
2 Internal sections 11″ wide x 6″ tall
4 tabs 1″ x 2
a zipper at least 10 ” long we will be using tabs at each end
The first thing we are going to do is sort out the zipper. Cut the length to 8″, pull the zipper back DO NOT CUT OFF THE PULL.
Lets sew on the the tabs, you will sandwich each tab right sides together with the zipper in the middle and clip in place with a wonder clip.
Sew into place with a quarter of an inch stitch. Once stitched you will fold back and top stitch in place. Do the same thing with both sides of the rounded bottom pouch.
Cut your tabs down 1/2″ on both sides. Make sure they are even on both sides.
Now lets make the boxed out bottom pencil case. One external section is face up, zipper with pull face down and one external piece face down. Grip or pin take over to your sewing machine and sew into place.
Fold everything back and top stitch. Do the same thing as before but now the zip is attached. Place external fabric with zip attached right side up, place the second external fabric right sides together. Grip or pin into place. flip everything over. You are now looking at the external fabric with the zipper pull facing away from you. Place you internal piece on top right sides facing. Grip into place and sew.
Now join together your external pieces and your internal pieces. IMPORTANT, PULL BACK THE ZIPPER!!
Mark a 2 1/2″ lines on the internal part of the boxed out bottom pencil case. The will be for pulling right sides out later.
Sew around the pouch apart from the squares and the two lines for the opening.
You’re now left with the boxed out corners. Join the seams together and sew, all four.
Pull the pouch through the opening. Check that everything is good and all the layers are sewn. Now you can sew the opening closed on the external section of the pouch.
