Tools
- Sewing machine, with normal presser feet. Or, you may hand sewn it
- Sewing needle, pins, matching threads
- Scissors
- Water Erasable fabric marker, for light color fabric
- Tweezers, for turning small part inside out
- Printer, 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock paper for the template and papers
Instructions
- Gather all supplies listed above and download the Husky Puppy Key Holder Template. Print the templates on cardstock paper and cut them out accordingly.
- Cut out the fabric and batting pieces according to the quantity stated on each of the templates. The fabrics and batting have to be at least 1/2″ bigger (1/4″ on each side) than the template in width and length respectively.
If you are making a zipper pocket instead of an open pocket at the back of the key pouch (Refer to the Puppy Coin Purse tutorial for the zipper pocket), only 1/4″ seam allowance at the top of the back pocket is needed. Otherwise, 3/4″ is needed for an open pocket.
Trace the outline of the template on the wrong side of the fabric accordingly.
- Sew an open pocket at the back of the puppy key pouch:
Double-fold the top edge of the open pocket and double topstitch with 1/4″ apart. You do not need to trace the template on the pocket piece, I did it to show you that it is the back pocket.
Mark the top edge of the back pocket on the right side of the back pouch body.
Place the pocket piece onto the back pouch piece, align the top edge to the marking line.
Make a few stitches on the seam allowance to secure the pocket in place.
- Sew key pouch back piece:
Place batting on the table, followed by a piece of pouch body fabric with the right side facing up. Then place the pocket pouch piece on it with the right side facing down. Pin all 3 pieces together (batting and 2 pouch fabric pieces).
Sew around and leave an opening at the side of the pouch but avoid the pocket area.
Trim the seam allowance of the batting to 1/8″ or as near to the sewing line. Trim fabric seam allowance to 1/4″.
Set aside.
- Sew the pouch front piece, ears, and face with the same method, i.e. by layering a batting or felt at the bottom of the 2 layers of fabrics which is with the right side together.
Cut out the eye and ear pieces from the color felt fabric, no seam allowance is needed.
Slit an inch of opening on one of the layers of the face-piece for turning inside out.
- Turn all pieces right side out from the opening, adjust the corners and shape of the pieces properly.
Hand-sew to close the opening with a slip stitch or ladder stitch.
Press with a warm iron to smooth out the creases if needed.
- Sew puppy face on the front piece:
Mark the mouth outline on the face-piece. You may hand sketch by eyeballing the shape and position, or use carbon trace, or punch some tiny holes along the lines on the template for marking the position.
Embroider the mouth with dark brown floss in stem stitch.
Position and place the face-piece on the pouch that doesn’t have a pocket on it. Sew to attach the face in place with a slip stitch.
Place the white felt earpiece onto the fabric earpiece. Sew around with sewing machines, with white upper thread and grey lower thread. Or, you may hand-stitch with blanket stitches around the edge of the white felt.
Sandwich the blue circle felts in between the 11.5mm black buttons and the face, sew them as the eyes of the Husky.
Sew a 9mm black button on the face as a nose.
Slip stitch the earpieces to the pouch according to the markings as well.
- Sew to join front and back pieces:
Place both front and back pouch pieces together with inside together. Sew them together with a slip stitch, from marking to marking on both left and right sides to complete the Puppy Husky pouch.
- Add a key chain to the Husky pouch to complete the key pouch. Insert the chain or cord through the top opening of the pouch, slip the keyring through the chain or cord to make up the keychain.
The chain I showed here is about 1.5″ long, but later I found that 2″ long will be easier to put your keys into the keyring.
Add your keys into the keyring to make the Husky Key Pouch practical and functional.
Pull the cord or chain up to hide the keys inside the key pouch. Now your keys are kept inside the cozy Siberian Husky Key Holder that everyone will admire.
Notes
Seam Allowance: 1/4″ on fabrics only, 3/4″ for the top edge of an open pocket, 1/8″ for batting. Sew before trimming to the desired seam allowance.
I used Japanese Yarn Dyed fabric to sew this Puppy key pouch.
