I'm not sure what to call this project, I titled the post "Circle Pouch" because essentially that's what it is. However you can use it for all kinds of things, I made mine for my ear buds but this could easily be a handy coin purse, chap-stick holder really whatever small thing you can think of.
For this project I used scraps from another project and I made some small mini quilt pieces(see below). I wanted my cut circle to be about 5" so I made one square at about 5½" and made two rectangles at about 3 x 6" these measurements need not be exact but at least as big as your circle template.
For my circle template I couldn't find an object to my size liking so I decided to quick make my own using the trusty old protractor to make a circle 5".
I decided to mark my circle with glow line tape because I really wanted to center the pinwheel design I created but this is optional.
I cut out my circle and then went to work on the other side. I started by attaching the zipper.
And then top stitching it down. This is important so the zipper doesn't catch and it gives it a nice finished look.
Now to cut out the second circle for this step you will want to make sure your zipper is in the middle of the circle. (it would be a good idea at this time to tack down the zipper at either end preferably before you cut your circle) I didn't do this of course but next time I would.
Next I made a small tab about 1 x 2" finished.
I slipped a split ring on, folded the tab in half, and pinned in place. ( would recommend tacking down that split ring tab and removing the pins for the next step)
Now to sandwich the 2 pieces right sides together.
Sew all around your circle...
Next I carefully clipped my seam all the way around, and turned my project right side out.
Finally I topped stitched the outside edge to give it a nice finished look.
enjoy!
Thanks for reading♥
