Directions for Making the Pouch

Materials:

• 1/6 yard of outer fabric (I chose this chocolate bar fabric by Benartex.)
• 1/6 yard of lining fabric (10 points for Gryffindor if you can find Harry Potter themed fabrics.  At last check Camelot fabrics has quite a few out.
• Contrasting Scraps for zipper ends.
• 1/3 yard of Support Soft Foam Stabilizer OR 1/6 yard Soft and Toasty™ Cotton Batting
• 10" zipper (or longer, trimmed)
• InkJet Iron-On Transfers for Dark fabric and ink jet printer
• Scrap Dark Brown Fabric for contrast
• Small bit of paper backed iron-on fusible web.
• Basting Spray or pin
• OPEN IN CASE OF DEMENTOR ATTACK PDF Printable

From EACH of your fabrics and your foam stabilizer, you'll want to start by cutting TWO rectangles that measure 6" x 11 1/2".

Print OPEN IN CASE OF DEMENTOR ATTACK onto the front side of your DARK fabric iron-on transfer paper.  You'll want to be sure you're using and INKJET printer.  I definitely recommend testing your printer on regular paper first.

Cut and trim one OPEN IN CASE OF DEMENTOR ATTACK strip from your iron-on sheet.

Trim a piece of paper-backed iron-on fusible web to be just approximately 1/2 larger in each direction than your trimmed OPEN IN CASE... strip.  Iron onto brown fabric.

Cut out.

Remove paper backing and position onto outer pouch fabric.

Iron well.

Position OPEN IN CASE... strip centered on your brown fabric.  Cover with the special ironing paper that comes with the ink-jet iron-on.  Follow package directions to iron on.

Check that all edges are adhered and let cool before removing paper.

Use basting spray (optional) to hold outer fabric to support foam.  Stitch around the edge with 1/4 inch allowance to hold in place.

From this point, follow the general directions for making a Simple Zippered Pouch here on my blog.  (You can skip to the instructions about adding the zipper and follow the rest of the directions from there.)

And be sure to add a nice big chocolate bar, so your pouch is ready for emergencies.  You can find my printable dementor themed chocolate wrapper here.
