Finally a sewing project for the hubby! He is a tough one to sew for I tell ya, but after seeing him eye some zippered pouches at The Home Depot one day I knew they would make the perfect gift. Even men need zippered pouches.
Zippered pouches are a great way for them to keep all their tools organized or in my hubby’s case…wire nuts, meters and other stuff that I cannot remember what they are called. I used a heavy duty canvas fabric from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores and some metal zippers that I had in my stash. I sewed them up like I would any zippered pouch but instead of lining them I just finish off the raw edges.
I do have to tell you that after I gave him all these cute little zippered pouches he quickly took out his sharpie marker and wrote all over them…so not cute anymore, but they are serving a purpose and that is what I love most about sewing. When I can make something that is useful I am a happy girl!
A man and his Sharpies….never the two shall be separate. 😉
These are so simple and cute. I could use like 10 of these for every room in my house.
Great idea! and – I like the different sizes too! =)
Nice idea – I am sure he will appreciate them – already has given them his “seal of approval” …
Brilliant – simply brilliant and simple too!
do you sell them on ebay?
