Mini Rainbow Case with Palette Fabrics by Tim Holtz

Hello friends! I back today with a Mini Rainbow Case using Palette Fabrics by Tim Holtz. I love all the little fussy cut pieces like the flowers, bird and butterflies. You could also make this case from one piece of fabric or you can mix up the colors. I also think the Palette Collage fabrics would be great. The case can be used for all kinds of thing. It's perfect for holding your Mini Blending Brushes from the latest release from Tim, sewing supplies and it would be fun to put a set of cards in it as a gift! 

The possibilities are endless with Palette Fabrics.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut 10 squares from each color for a total of 60 - 1 1/2" squares. 

I've used Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue from the Palette Collection by Tim Holtz. 

I also like to fussy ct images from the Collage fabric like the green bird and the yellow butterfly. 

Sew the pieces together in rows then sew the rows together.

Press the seams well with an iron. 

Layer the batting in between your pieced squares and your backing. 

I use spray glue to hold my layers together. You could also use pins. 

Quilt as desired. 

Square up you quilted piece. This should measure approximately 10 1/2" x 6 1/2". 

Position the interfacing to one side on the wrong side of the flap fabric. 

Fold the flap right sides together lengthwise and clip or pin together. 

Make a mark 1/2" in from the side at the fold.

Make another mark 1/4" in from the side at the other end. 

Draw a line from mark to mark. 

This will create the shape for the flap. 

Sew on the line, clip the corner, turn right side out and press. 

Topstitch 1/8" around the edge of the flap. 

Iron binding in half, sew to the top edge of the Vinyl, 

wrap around the top edge and the top stitch 1/8" from the edge. 

Position Vinyl Pocket and Upper Flap and clip in place.

 Iron binding in half lengthwise and sew to the back side.

Add the elastic piece to the front and stitch close to the edge. 

Fold the binding around to the front and top stitch 1/8" from the edges. 

Stitch through the Vinyl at the center to create a divided pocket. 

Hand sew the button to the front and be sure not to sew through the vinyl pocket.
