Pochette 19 - Creating a custom Pochette from scratch

 

Creating this pattern from scratch was a tough challenge but I think it was so worth it.

I will share some of the interesting “behind the scenes” work with you!

Here are some of the initial sketches I made in the beginning when creating the pattern.

At first, I thought I would go along for the edges called “the turned edge” technique but then I decided to go for edge painted edges to add a splash of color with that summery orange I used for the final product.

Manually installing the zippers is a challenge in itself as well because you need to be precise and still make sure the zip stops are installed perfectly.
