Since my first First Aid Case was such a success, I decided to make a few more. This is a second one that I tackled, tweaking it a bit.
Let's see what it looks like finished
Now onto the tutorial
Let's talk Materials
You will need:
1. Outer Fabric (here I am using denim, but you can use anything you want)
2. Lining Fabric (cut to the same size as the outer fabric)
3. Two Pocket Fabric Pieces (both can be the same size, rectangular)
Cut one leg from the knees and separate into two pieces
Cut out the seam and hem
Fold one piece of the leg in half like this
cut
Then fold the pieces in half like this
And cut
Line up the top two pieces and the lower pieces like this
Sew them together to make two bigger pieces (these are the pocket pieces)
Hem the pieces
Layer one pocket piece on the lining fabric, making sure you leave enough room for the second pocket piece. Sew the pocket piece onto the lining fabric in the middle.
Measure how big you want the pockets to be. Mine are two inches wide.
Top stitch the pockets
After top stitching all the pockets, top stitch the bottom of the top pocket piece
Top stitch the bottom pocket piece just like the top pocket piece, start with the middle
Measure and decide on the size of the pockets
Pin the sides except for one end
Top stitch the pockets
Then, top stitch the bottom hem
So now the lining with pockets are done. Prepare the ribbon and outer fabric
I embroidered on the outer fabric, on one end of the fabric
Layer everything like this: lining with pocket, ribbon, and outer fabric, right sides together
Pin the sides except for one end
Sew all sides except for one end
Turn it inside out, then fold in the opening, and top stitch
Outside
Inside
Hope you enjoy this project!

Kathy,
DeleteThank you so much for your compliment! You have always commented on my projects when i linked up! thank you
Love it! I took a sewing class last year so I could learn to read patterns and sew better. Unfortunately my teacher was more concerned with focusing on one student collaborating with them for a craft show. Sites like yours that share are great for people like me that are still learning. Thanks for sharing your talents.
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
DeleteYou are tooooo kind! I am sooo glad you find my blog useful. it was my intention to share what i create. I do not have a shop, nor do i know how to make my own patterns and sell them. I believe that sharing is more fun than earning a buck.
Cool first aid case! I love denim projects! Thanks for sharing at Submarine Sunday!
