Zip-Up Tray Pouch
I've been wanting to make the Zip-Up Tray Pouch by Aneela Hoey for some time. Until now, I've been carrying around a plastic box with all my hand sewing supplies. Practical, sure. But not much fun!
Now when I meet up with friends to sew in our favorite coffee shop, all my stuff will stay nicely organized!
I've made a lot of bags and didn't find construction difficult. I took my time with it and I thought the instructions were clear. The interacting was stiff and fusible on both sides - makes for a nice sturdy final bag!
(I'm still loving my cutting mat from ecopeco - see my review here.)
Zipper installation was easy - I used a metal zipper for extra pizzaz! There were some sewing gymnastics involved when attaching the sides but it all worked!
I used the same fabric for the binding as the outside of the zip-up tray so any issues would not be too visible.
Have a wonderful day! Patty

This is a perfect pouch for travel sewing. Thanks for adding to my ToDoList!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really useful! I could use something like that for my toothbrush and toothpaste when travelling, just pick it up and zip it up when leaving a hotel bathroom.

ReplyDeleteI have this pattern and have been wanting to make it for a while as well. The finished product will be for my husband to carry medical items when we travel. Thanks for the motivation to get moving to get the tray done.
