I marked my lines first using a ruler and frixion pen.Ever notice the celebrity walking the red carpet in a barely there dress, waving and sashaying while all the important parts stay covered? Have you noticed how the button up shirts of your favorite male and female TV actors never gap to reveal a bit of skin in between? Lastly, have you watched a dancer turn, flip and jump and notice the costume stays perfectly in place? For this project I sewed straight lines 2’’ apart and then turned the piece and sewed more straight lines 2’’ apart in a cross hatch design. Quilt the fabric and stabilizer together however you like. Then baste the fabric and stabilizer together by sewing all the way around again 1/8’’ from the edge.Ģ.
Turn the stabilizer over and smooth out the second piece of fabric on the other side (right side of fabric up). First attach the 12’’ x 18’’ piece of fabric to one side of the 12’’ x 18’’ piece of foam stabilizer by smoothing the fabric out on top (right side of fabric up) and then sewing all the way around with a long basting stitch about 1/8’’ from the edge.

When I was making this organizer, I recorded this step in a quick video that will play above.
Quilt the Fabric and Foam Stabilizer Together and Cut the Case Exterior If you use regular zippers, trim them down to 8’’ and sew across the ends to prevent the pulls from coming off. For this project you will need 2 zippers that are 8’’ or longer, or simply cut your own 2 zippers using Zipper By the Yard and add pulls (that’s what I did). Zipper by the Yard is simply a 4 yard piece of YKK size 4.5 zipper that comes with 16 zipper pulls so I can cut my own zippers to the size that I need with no waste. Instead of buying them in pre-made sizes, I keep on hand ByAnnie Zipper by the Yard in all my favorite colors. They are great for all kinds of bags and pouches.
