drawstring pouch

Easy! No fussy edge finishing! How to make a lined drawstring pouch

Let’s make a cute drawstring pouch with a mouth that cinches shut, by combining different fabrics.

First, connect the lining and the outer fabric, then sew while leaving an opening for the drawstring, and close it to form the pouch—simple steps, right? Once the whole piece is finished as a pouch, just thread the cord to complete it, and be sure to check that it closes securely and slides smoothly.

The overall look changes with the design of the lining and outer fabric and the color of the cord, so putting thought into the combinations to add originality is highly recommended.

Make the parts for the face, body, arms, and legs, connect them while keeping natural transitions in mind, and attach the small parts to finish.

Pay close attention to details like the size of each part and the colors you use, and craft it with care.

Patchwork fabric scrap coasters

[How to Use Fabric Scraps] How to Make Coasters

These are simple square coasters with an impressive look thanks to the patchwork design and soft appearance.

The key is to layer several fabric scraps when making them, then stitch them firmly for a durable finish.

After sewing the outer and lining fabrics together, turn it inside out so the seams don’t show—simple, but it does require care.

For even more durability, you can increase the number of fabric layers or insert a piece of cardstock inside.

Use scraps with various designs to create a colorful set.

Framed-edge placemat

[Easy, Pro-Level] How to Make Picture-Frame-Style Placemats

Let’s make a simple, easy-to-use placemat with a frame-like sense of volume around the edges.

The steps are straightforward: fold the fabric edges and sew along the folds with a sewing machine.

Even just this will make it more functional than a plain piece of fabric.

If the center area—where nothing is added—feels thin and flimsy, consider using a thicker fabric or layering several pieces to add volume before sewing.

It’s also a good idea to press crisp folds before stitching and keep in mind the goal of making the whole piece lie flat.

Easy Long-tailed Tit

[Beginner] As simple as possible! [How to make a Long-tailed Tit]

This is about making a long-tailed tit, notable for its white and soft appearance, using faux fur fabric.

The key points are how to make the most of the fabric’s softness and how rounded to make the final shape.

You’ll cut the fabric using a pattern, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with filling to create a round form.

Since you’ll combine the body and tail before adding the stuffing, it may be important to sew while keeping the final shape in mind.

It’s also interesting that the impression changes depending on how much stuffing you use.
