Penguin Pocket Wrap Instructions


NOTE:  The 6" elastic will fit most standard movie candy sized boxes.  I used 9" for the box of ice cream cones and 5" for the smaller pocket wrap.  It can be lengthened or shortened though to accomodate any size box or other items.

1. Hoop one layer of stabilizer.

Stitch first color (pocket wrap fabric placement outline).

Cut 2 5x9" pieces of fabric and fold in half and press so they are 5x4.5".

Place one piece of folded fabric on top of wrap outline so folded edge is even with top horizontal straight stitching line.

Stitch second color to secure.

2. Stitch third color (penguin feet).

Stitch fourth color (penguin body fabric placement outline).

Place a piece of fabric on top of outline, covering completely.

Stitch fifth color to secure.

Trim fabric as closely as possible to outline being careful not to cut stitching or fabric underneath.

Stitch sixth color (penguin outer satin stitching).

3.  Stitch seventh color (penguin inner body fabric placement outline).

 Place a piece of fabric on top of outline, covering completely.

Stitch eighth color to secure.

Trim fabric as closely as possible to outline being careful not to cut stitching or fabric underneath.

Stitch ninth color (penguin outer satin stitching).

Stitch tenth color (beak).

Stitch 11th color (facial features).

4.   Stitch 12th color (elastic placement outlines).

Cut a 6" piece of 1 inch wide elastic.

Place one end of elastic centered over left hand elastic placement outline so approximately 1/4" of elastic extends outside design and remainder of elastic is inside design.

Stitch 13th color to secure.

5.   Repeat with other end of elastic on right hand side.

Tape elastic securely down INSIDE design perimeters (it can be folded over itself in the center so it fits) so presser foot does not become entangled  in future steps.

Stitch14th color to secure.

5.  Place second piece of folded fabric on top of design so folded edge is even with previously placed folded edge.

Stitch final color to secure.

Remove from hoop. Trim around perimeter of design leaving approximately 1/4" seam allowance.  Trim excess stabilizer from opening of pocket.

Turn right side out.  Slip over item and fill pocket.

You're finished!
