Travel Zipper Cases

Based on facebook inspiration for a pencil case, I made a case for cutlery. Me and my husband love camping and this was missing in our gear.

The size fit almost exactly to A5. I made a patter from a leaflet, ironed cotton stiffener to the wrong size and cut out. I sewed on an endless zipper - right sides together. Zipper was below the fabric when I was sewing.

Then I went to the right side and made a line of stitches near the edge.

I put on the slider. This took like half of the production time :-D

I hemmed the end with a matching fabric.

And made a tassel for easy opening.

After this project, I found myself having half of the zipper in my hand... So I made one more for toothbrushes to keep them in my car permanently. This time I cut out the patter from the cotton lining, ironed it on and then cut it all out.

First phase of hemming. Then I folded it back and sewed at the right side between the layers so that the stitches are not very visible.

So this is the twin travel case.
