Fabric covered foam pouches

[Fettski]

Here is a walkthrough on how I used cotton Duck fabric to cover my pouches. 1 Yard should be enough If you are Careful, I ended up using about 1 and a half. At my local store the fabric is about 10 a yard, usually i find it on 50% off sale. It is a natural color, I have not dyed it.

 

Tools you need,

Foam pouches

Scissors

Hot glue gun

marker( i used a sharpie)

and a sewing machine

 

Here are my Foam pouches made by S****mos(not supposed to put full name of makers right?)

 

Put the foam face down on the cloth and mark all 4 sides, rotate to the top side and mark all sides, rotate back to center then to the side, back to center, other side, back to center, then to the bottom. From the corners, draw a line at 45 approx degrees. also extend your top, bottom, and sides by about .25-.5 inches so you have some extra to glue to the back of the foam box.

 

Cut the excess off.

 

Make your corners by pinching the top and side together on the diagonal line you drew and sew along the line you made.

 

Cut off any excess fabric and thread.

 

Now turn it inside out.

 

Put the foam box in and make sure the corners line up.

 

Pull on end at a time, I usually would pull the top, glue it down, then pull the bottom tightly to get the rounded shape then glue that then the sides.

 

The part for the flap is not much different. the 2 small front pouches are tricky because when you do them you have to use the left one for the template to make the right one. This is because when you make them you don't turn them inside out. Put your fabric on top of the foam and trace the outline of the flap and then add extra and sew it down. Make sure when you do it you keep the ink side inside. If anyone wants pics, I can do another and post them.
