This is a very useful pouch! It was a best seller for Chicken Boots since we utilized a see-through bottom. This pattern has an option to use all fabric.
If you need to carry more than your Notions Case, the Notions Wedgie fits the ticket. It's versatile, and doesn't take much fabric. It also showcases a cute motif nicely.
These are very fun to sew and you'll feel pretty clever too.
As a bonus, there are two sew-throughs utilizing zipper by-the-yard and focusing on sewing it production style.
You'll be surprised how much faster and easier it is to sew using this type of zipper! You'll be hooked!
Finished Measurements: 9.25" wide x 6" tall x 2" front to back depth
Fabric: Most light and medium weight wovens will work for a Notions Wedgie. In general, we always used quilting cotton and that is primarily what is shown in the pictures. For the bottom fabric, you can use vinyl, canvas, or any medium weight woven. You can also use two layers of material if you want to add some body. Hold them wrong sides together and treat as one layer.
Yardage Amounts:
- Outer Fabric: 1/4 yard or Fat Quarter
- Lining Fabric: 1/4 yard or Fat Quarter
- Bottom Fabric: 1/4 yard or Fat Quarter
Note: This pattern doesn't take much fabric. If you do indeed purchase a 1/4 yard of each of the above materials, you'll have enough to make three Notions Wedgie complete.
Optional Vinyl: 12 gauge matte vinyl is used on the clear Notions Wedgie. Vinyl can be found at many larger fabric stores. It is quite affordable so get the best you can find.
Notions:
- 9" pre-made zipper (minimum opening length- instructions are provided to shorten a zipper) (If using zipper by-the-yard, you need 21" and one slider)
- 1-1.25" wide ribbon: 6" (About the width of your zipper tape; or you can use bias binding)
