This is an afternoon project that can definitely be a scrap buster! You can use your favorite fabrics and/or fabric scraps to create your own portfolio. This stitching case will easily fit in a project bag or tote or purse and can even hold a half-sheet (5.5" x 8.5") pattern. For this post, I used HeatnBond products (Fusible Fleece, Medium Weight Interfacing, E-Z Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets, and Lite Iron-On Adhesive Tape)...plus, I give you some pro-tips in my post. I also used gingham ribbon and wool blend felt. Visit the tutorial post for a complete and detailed supply list.
To find the ribbon and wool blend felt, along with other supplies/tools listed, visit my On-the-Go Stitching Portfolio Supply List on Amazon (full disclosure: as an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases - I only share products I actually use - and I truly appreciate you shopping from my links, thank you!)
Are you familiar with HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets? I use these for almost every project I create with appliqué. HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets are paper backed, iron-on, sewable, double-sided adhesive for bonding fabric without extra weight or stiffness - and the best part?? - they measure 8.5" x 11" to fit in a standard inkjet printer - NO TRACING INVOLVED! The templates I provide for each of my projects are printed on 8.5" x 11" paper, so you can print the templates directly on the HeatnBond Lite Adhesive sheets and skip the tracing step. I always have these stocked in my sewing studio!!
If you have questions on any of the Therm O Web or HeatnBond/SpraynBond products or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.
You will have to visit the ThermOWeb blog for my complete tutorial and pattern, but I am posting a few photos here...
This is such a cute, but oh so useful accessory, my friend. I can see it worked up in seasonal prints as well. Well done! xoxox
