Like my first (and last… so far anyway, LOL) handmade hook case, for Michelle.

This time, for Crochetville Spring Secret Pals, I embarked upon a zippered, lined pouch for my pal, Heather. Hmm, I see a trend in these ambitious projects… sewing! At which I am quite amateur!

The details:

  • No pattern, I just crocheted a rectangular pouch (all sc, in the round) to fit the 7-inch all-purpose zipper I bought.
  • J&P Coats, Crochet Nylon, black
  • Size H hook
  • Two small pieces of fabric (one patterned blue satiny and one black) from my stash
  • I machine sewed the zipper as far as I could, but had to do some hand sewing at the ends.
  • I machine sewed the seams for the lining, and sewed it into the crocheted pouch by hand. (I used a layer of black fabric on the outside of the blue lining so the light blue wouldn’t show through the crochet stitches.
