ITH Cat zipped purse








You will need three pieces of fabric, approx 8cm x 15cm, 30cm x 15 cm and 20cm x 15cm. Choose your own thread colours to suit your fabric.







Hoop stabiliser and stitch colour 1 which is an outline and marks the placement for the zip.



Lay the fastened zip along the central line so that the teeth are on the line, the open end to the left you and all metal parts beyond the edges of the outline. (That is vital - you will need a zip longer than you think!)



Colour 2 will stitch the zip to the stabiliser.



Lay the smallest piece of fabric, face down over the zip and the long edge along the top of the hoop. Colour 3 will stitch it to the zip. Flip the lower part of the fabric up to reveal the zip.



Repeat this process with the largest piece of fabric and colour 4.





Colours 5, 6, 7 and 8 stitch the features.



Un-zip the zip halfway at this stage or you will be stuck later!



Finally put the loop in position and place third piece of fabric face down over the whole thing and stitch the final outline. (I actually used a double layer as the back for extra "body") Cut out about 5mm away from the edge, remove the stabiliser from over the zip and turn through.

Thanks to Martine for letting me borrow the tigers eyes.



Enjoy!

Is the zipper placed face up or face down? I am guessing face up. My machine is in the repair shop and wanted to have things ready when it comes home. Thank you for such a cute design. x

Sue, I have been making these since you first put the design out a few years ago. I had just been given a Baby Lock ellageo from my husband for my 75th birthday. It was the first in the hoop design that I made so there are many good memories. I miss that site as there many wonderful designs on it. Thank you.

My first ever ITH Zippered Item. Very impressed, only thing I would add to the instructions is to take a marker and extend the zipper line out to edges of hoop so you can see it when you lay the zipper down.
Thank you so very much!!! I know my granddaughter's will love these!!!

i LOVE your design!!! I made one for a birthday, although i was sad to never hear if she liked it :( and i hate to *ask*

I was wondering if there was a way to put the zipper in the back instead of the forehead?
but cant think how to make that work, because the coolest thing is how it is in the hoop....
maybe stitch the first parts, zipper and top bottom with top and bottom oversized, then hoop another stabilizer, stitch the features, then place the zipper back upside down over the kitty (zipper open) ???? think this will work?

I've tried this, but found it really difficult to line it up so the zip is straight across!

for those of you who need the instructions here is how to do it with ease
make a file for all of sues designs, find the one you want to do and download the design.
come back to the instructions and left click and highlight the instructions and then right click and copy.
open a blank word document and paste the instructions into it, you may want to reduce the space between the lines of information so that it fits onto a page easier. save the file under the name of the design in the file for sues designs,
now you have the info at your fingertips whenever you need it.
finally give a flower and thank you to Sue for her hard work and generosity

This worked out really great for the beginner that I am. I made a couple correctable mistakes, but all ended well. Added a light batting to front and back, but the next one I will not add it in the upper ear part as too hard to turn the ears. Thanks again for doing these free downloads. Now for the owl. Nonie

spendlove by spendlove 04 Mar 2012

Thanks for the feedback - you could miss out the pink stitching on the ears which would make it much esier to turn.

einon by einon 04 Mar 2012

THanks for the suggestion. As I said I am new at this. Have never had an embroidery machine before and want to do the fun things. The ear stitching is cute, too. Will try though.
