Princess castle pouch DIY! :)

princess castle zipper pouch, disney princess castle pouch, disney princess zipper pouch, oh yay studio sewing pattern

I’ve learned to embrace the “MOM I HAVE TO BRING THIS SPECIAL THING ALONGGGGGGG” moments before we get ready to leave the house for church, to run errands, to head to a friends house or simply to just go for a ride in the car! šŸ™‚ SOOOO, what every pre-schooler (and perhaps parent) needs is a gaggle of zipper pouches to keep these “collections”….well…..COLLECTED! šŸ™‚

And today, I am sharing how I made this princess castle zipper pouch for both my niece and daughter. It isn’t a big pouch, bit it’s perfect for those little doll shoes, hair accessories or even the princess plush dolls that I made my niece for Christmas this year šŸ™‚

MATERIALS

  • White or cream fabric for outside of pouch (I used cotton)
  • Any cotton for inside of the pouch
  • Various colors of felt for the Castle on front
  • Sewing Machine + coordinating thread
  • coordinating zipper 9ā€ length (or cut to length)
  • PDF pattern

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut pieces
Download the pattern HERE and then cut:

  • 2 background pieces from the outer fabric (this is the background/outside to the castle)
  • 2 background pieces for the lining
  • All of the Castle parts from various colors of felt

2. Lay out + sew castle
Layer the castle pieces on top of one another and arrange as desired. You can reference the photo for placement for pieces. (feel free to trim any pieces to make them fit where you want them to be). 

Once you have everything where you need/want it to be, begin stitching everything together. Start with the top 2 layers (the doors onto the piece underneath) and then sew the other ā€œpostsā€ or rectangles onto layer 1. After that, lay down the stitched together ā€œlayer 1ā€ onto the background and stitch in place. Then place the triangle tops, followed by the rectangular-ish shape near the top. Make sure everything is secure before moving onto step 3.

3. Sew Zipper
Layer your fabric with 1 piece of the lining fabric facing up, zipper and the Castle top facing down. Line up the edges of your zipper and make sure all 3 layers are flush and stitch your zipper in place. 

*Note, trim your zipper to 9 inches before you begin sewing the zipper if necessary! šŸ™‚ 

Do the same with the other background and other lining piece.

**tip when sewing zippers: be sure to stop your stitching when you come to the ā€œpullā€ on the zipper, put your needle down, raise your presser foot and then zip the pull out of the way. If you don’t do this you will get a bulge or notch in your zipper stitch which will be obvious when you want the zipper to lay flat.

4. Iron the zipper + top stitch
With your iron, press the zipper flat (as best as possible) and pull your fabric away from the teeth of the zipper. Then top stitch along each side of the zipper to keep the fabric laying flat.

5. OPEN THE ZIPPER!
This is *SUPPPPPER* important otherwise you won’t be able to open your castle pouch! šŸ™‚

6. Stitch together
Open up your bag and then line up the 2 lining pieces with one another as well as the front background shapes with one another. Pin in place, being careful to line up the 2 areas where the zipper joins (this is important to make sure the zipper is straight across when finished).

Stitch all the way around the bag, leaving a large enough opening on the lining portion to turn the bag when done.

7. Sew closed + finish
Trim the points of the castle as well as any other bulky spots off before turning (you want this to lay as flat as possible and getting rid of this ā€œbulkā€ will help)

Then turn the bag right side out and polk all of the corners and edges smooth. The turn the edges of the lining opening (where you pulled the bag through) inward to mimic a seam allowing and top stitch the lining hole closed. 
Press the bag with an iron and fill with goodies for yourself or your kiddo! šŸ™‚

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰

I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! šŸ˜‚
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the ā€œwe don’t talk about Brunoā€ song…..ya know, ā€œwe don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø
ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas šŸŽ„ I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
