Dragonfly Pouch

Sparkly dragonfly on a pouch

Posted by Lima

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
