Step 1 -Fussy cut the Snow Globe

Step 2 -HeatNBond Medium Weight Interfacing

Cut 2 pieces of the interfacing 5 ½” square. Fuse the interfacing squares to the wrong side of 1 pink fabric square and the fussy cut (blue) square from step 1. Set these fabric squares aside.

Step 3 -HeatNBond Lite

Cut one 5 ½” square on HeatNBond Lite. Lay the HeatNBond Lite on a hard writing

surface with the paper side up. Place the Snow Globe pattern on top of the HeatNBond Lite and

trace the cut-out circle shape on the paper with a permanent marker.

Cover the ironing surface with pressing paper to protect it. Next, place the remaining 5 ½” pink

fabric square on the pressing paper right side down. Following the package instructions, bond the

HeatNBond Lite square to the fabric square. Let it cool, then cut

on the drawn line to remove the round shape of the snow globe.

Set this pink fabric square aside while the base of the globe is prepared.

Trace the base template from the Snow Globe Template sheet on the paper side of HeatNBond Lite.

Cut the base shape from the HeatNBond Lite leaving about ¼” around the outside of the base.

Follow the package instructions to bond the HeatNBond Lite to the wrong side of the fabric (green).

Cut the fabric base out on the traced line.

Step 4 -Make the Snow Globe

Firstly, trace the circle template on the cutting line from the template sheet on the vinyl square

with a permanent marker. Cut the circle out with scissors.

Tip: if the vinyl is wrinkled, it can be pressed by sandwiching it between pieced of pressing paper and lightly

pressing. Then let it cool.

Next, place the fussy cut (blue) square right side up on the pressing paper that is on the ironing surface.

Place ½ teaspoon of sequins in the middle of the design. Now, center the vinyl circle over the sequins

and design leaving the sequins in a pile.

Peel the paper off the HeatNBond Lite

backed pink square and place it over the blue square adhesive side down.

The vinyl should be sandwiched between the fabric and the HeatNBond Lite backed fabric.

Slide the vinyl around if any edges of it are exposed.

Next, peel the backing paper from the base and place it at the bottom of the snow globe vinyl.

Place a piece of pressing paper on top of the square and bond the parts together.

Bond the pieces by heating sections around the square with the iron about 8 seconds at a time.

Try to avoid placing the iron directly over the sequins. Let the square cool, then carefully

move it to the sewing machine and blanket stitch around the snow globe and base

with Aurifil thread #2605.

Step 5- Make the zipper pouch

Lay one lining square right side up. With the zipper pull on the right, lay the zipper right side

up on top as shown.

Slide the zipper open and place the snow globe square right side down sandwiching the zipper tape.

Pin the layers together and stitch with a zipper foot ¼” from the edge. Close the zipper and press.

Always avoid the vinyl with the iron.

Lay the last lining square face up and place the zipper on the lining piece as shown.

Next, place the backing pink square right side down over the zipper.

Open the zipper and, sandwiching the zipper tape between the lining and backing, pin.

Stitch ¼” from edge and press. Top stitch along both sides of the zipper.

Open the zipper 2/3 down. Fold the zipper tape towards the lining and pin.

Open the pieces so the outsides are right sides together and the lining pieces are right sides together.

Turn the end of the lining pieces ¼” to the wrong side. Pin the pouch pieces right sides together.

Starting at the lining end, stitch ¼” from the edge all around, stitching through the zipper.

Leave the end of the lining where the edge is turned open for turning.

After stitching, trim the excess zipper tape even with the seam allowance, trim the corners,

and turn it right side out through the open end of the lining. Push out the corners with a chopstick.

Pin the lining end shut and stitch by hand or a narrow hem with the sewing machine.
