New Video Tutorial: Zippered Pouch (easy)

Zippered Pouch Tutorial

Have you ever wanted to sew something with a zipper, but you were worried that it would be too complicated? This might be the project for you. In this video tutorial we are sewing a zippered pouch together, step by step, and even sewing beginners will be able to follow along.

A little warning: Sewing zippered pouches is potentially addictive 😉 They make great gifts for friends and family and for ourselves too 🙂

Here is the link to the tutorial: https://youtu.be/WyI7HiFECfA

You can make them in many different colours, fabrics etc. In the video I am using interfacing to stabilize my lining fabric, but if you use thicker material you won’t have to do that.

I’d love to see some pics of your creations in the Sami Facebook group, if you’d like to share a picture: https://www.facebook.com/groups/496284950388111/

Happy sewing!

New Video Tutorial: Fingerless Gloves

Fingerless GlovesFingerless Gloves Tutorial

It is getting a bit cooler down under, autumn and winter are approaching, so I need some comfy fingerless gloves or wrist warmers to help me brave the cold, so I can continue sewing and editing without my hands freezing too much. Meanwhile in the northern hemisphere spring and summer are coming… but who knows, there might be some cooler days as well, or save this video somewhere so you can make yourself some fingerless gloves once winter arrives for you.

Here is the link to the tutorial: https://youtu.be/haw2-M03NMc

You can make them in many different colours, fabrics etc. In the video we are making our own pattern, so it fits each individual hand. I am tracing around my hand and arm with an approximate 1″ distance to make the pattern. If you use thicker fabrics like felt or fabrics that don’t stretch much, you will need to make a wider seam allowance to make sure they still fit around your hands and arms.

Happy sewing!

New Video Tutorial: Easy DIY Key Fobs

key fobAbout 5 years ago I made myself a key fob like this from thick felt fabric. It lasted really well and it actually still looks really good. But I wanted something new and wanted to use some of my favourite fabrics this time around.

And I thought I’d make it into a video tutorial, hoping that you’d enjoy making one or more of these as well: https://youtu.be/oU0fBLYOI24

It is such a fun, easy and quick project.
