Hey guys! First tutorial ever and I'm kinda nervous D:
Hope this will be useful and understandable XD
1
Draw and cut you pattern from a piece of paper chosing the shape you want to give to your pouch.
Draw and cut a straight line in the middle (long and large enough to place the sipper).
2
Cut two pieces of felt.
3
Draw a dragonfly and cut it, use the pattern to make one from a piece of felt.
4
Embellish it!
I used red glittered glue to make its wings sparkly and I embroidered the body with red thread.
5
Now take one piece of felt (It'll be the front of your pouch) and embellish it.
I worked on the wrong side and positioned the dragonfly where I want it to be and I drew random curls with a pen.
6
I used backstitch and threads of different colours to embroider the curls.
7
Pin your felt dragonfly and sew it in place with backstitch.
I saw the wings with darker red and the tail + the head with black.
8
Embellish untill you're satisfied.
I added few gems and little silver pearls.
9
Now the zipper.
Place the zipper on the back of the decorated piece of felt and pin it (I had to cut mine cause it was obviously too long XD ) .
Carefully place the second piece of felt on top and sew the zipper in between them along the hole you cut on the felt.
10
Fold in half (you'd have 4 layers of felt) and sew along the edge with a blanket stitch.
AND YOU'RE DONE :D
