  • 2 fusible interfacing
• 1 label

Instructions:

Step 1:

Take your rectangle denim scrap and place it right side down. Put one fusible interfacing on top and press with an iron.

Step 2:

Take your rectangle lining and place it right side down. Put the other fusible interfacing on top of it and press with an iron.

Step 3:

Make this pattern on cardboard or paper.

Step 4:

Place the pattern on top of the rectangle jean and trace it. Once done, cut it out. Do the same on the lining.

Step 5:

Take the jean cutout and fold it in half lengthwise. Mark the middle. From that point, measure 1″ and mark it. Put and sew the label on that mark.

Step 6:

Fold the jean cutout in half crosswise, right sides together, and secure the sides with pins. Sew these sides with a 3/8″ seam allowance. Do the same for the lining cut out.

Step 7:

Finger press the seams open. Close the two bottom corners to make box edges. Secure them with pins and sew with a 3/8″ seam allowance. Repeat on the lining cut out.

Step 8:

Flip the denim box right side out, then place it inside the lining box. Secure the edges with pins. Mark a 3″ opening. Sew around the edges with a 3/8″ seam allowance, except for the opening.

Step 9:

Flip it right side out through the opening. Press the edges with an iron to flatten them. Top stitch the edges with a 3/8″ seam allowance.
