My vacuum pocket

Right now I have a big problem. I don't stop losing my keys. I change jackets regularly and every morning I have to spend 10 minutes looking for my keys everywhere. So I decided it was time to take measurements and make a nice vacuum pocket. Customizable from A to Z and Economy This vacuum pocket will be perfect as the first sewing project for new seamstresses! 

Supplies :

Step 1: Draw and cut your pieces:

  • Start by cutting your pieces of fabric and thermocollant following the diagram below.

  • You should end up with 2 pieces of outdoor fabric, 2 pieces of the inner fabric and 2 pieces of thermocollant.

  • Support the piece of fabric that will become the exterior of your vacuum pocket.

Step 2: Assemble your pieces: 

  • Start by closing your rectangles by folding the place against the place, to assemble the two small sides. Make a straight seam 1 cm from the edge.
  • Then assemble the circle, which will be the bottom of your pocket vacuum, with the corresponding rectangle.

  • For the next step, I first invite you to iron the top of your 2 rectangles, in order to obtain a small 1cm hem.
  • Now place your "lining" inside the outside of the vacuum pocket, right backwards. All you have to do is close everything with a right rib sting all over your vacuum pocket.

Step 3: Finishes: 

  • For the finishes, simply fold the inside to the outside to create a flap that will first show the inner fabric, but also to create more stability.
