 |
| 1. Cut 1 piece of Eazy felt and 2 pieces of fabric for the notepad holder. Cut another piece of fabric for the front pocket. See supplies list above for sizes to cut. | 2. Iron some "iron on" medium weight interfacing to the wrong side of the pocket fabric. Turn down 1/2" on the two longer sides & top stitch on your sewing machine. |
 |
 |
| 3. This picture shows the pocket with the fabric turned and top stitched on the wrong side. | 4. This pictures shows the pocket on the right side, top stitched and ready to use. |
 |
 |
| 5. Hoop vilene or Aqua Magic washaway stabilizer to fit your hoop. Sew the first color in the design on the vilene/aqua magic only. | 6. Remove hoop & turn over to the back side. Place one piece of the fabric centered over the outline. Use adhesive spray to keep the fabric in place. |
|
|
 |
| 7. Now flip the hoop over to the
right side. Place 1 piece of Eazy felt with 1 piece of fabric on top
centered over the outline. Use adhesive spray to keep everything in
place. The next color in the design tacks the fabric & felt down. Placement lines will also be sewn for pocket placement. |
8. Line the pocket fabric up
with the top placement line on the design. Scotch tape the 5
1/2" wide pocket fabric to the design. Keep it even with the existing
5" wide fabric on both sides. It will bow up in the middle but the
extra fabric will form the pencil pocket later. |
| 9. The next color stop tacks the pocket fabric down (There is no picture for this step!) | |
 |
 |
| 10. After the pocket fabric is tacked down, the next color stop stitches the vertical line to form the pen pocket. Push the fabric over to the right side while it stitches the vertical line to keep the fabric on the right side. | 11. This picture shows the finished pen pocket. |
 |
 |
| 12. Remove hoop and trim the
fabric and eazy felt from around the design on both sides of the hoop. Tip: It is easier to trim the fabric alone first and then trim the felt rather than trying to trim both at the same time. |
13. Place hoop back on machine. The next color stop stitches the final satin outline around the design. Hold the pen pocket to the left out of the way as it first begins stitching the satin outline. |
 |
 |
| 14. This shows the satin outline around the notepad holder being stitched. | 15. Stitch out the design at the top following the instructions in the text file included with the design. |
 |
 |
| 16. When finished stitching the design, remove hoop and flip to the backside. Run scissors along the edges to cut it away from the vilene. Run a warm wet rag along the edges to dissolve the remaining stabilizer. | 17. Use rubber cement to glue a business size magnet to the back side at the top centered. |
|
|
|
| 18. Place a 3x5 notepad and a pen in the pockets and you're finished! | |
