Happy 2017! Let’s get this year off to a great start with a fun sew along. The Flora Supply Case is one of my most popular patterns, and has been used for a variety of things: planner supplies, hand sewing kit, knitting needles and more! To kick off the new year, I’m hosting a sew along for the Flora Supply Case and here are some details!
I also did a special printing of the patterns for Quilter’s Candy Box December box, so if you’d like a printed pattern and lots of other goodies, they are available here:
And, kits with the fabric to make a small or medium case are available at Sew Lux Fabric (for the large case you will need one additional fat quarter or half yard). We’ve curated these cute bundles and they’re a great price too:
Most of what makes the Flora Supply Case unique is the inside. Most of the supplies are available at your local fabric store, but here are some more details if you’re planning to order supplies.
Foam interfacing – I used Pellon (R) Flex Foam, but byAnnie Soft & Stable is equally awesome.
Mesh – Look in the sport section of a fabric store, or also from byAnnie, I used a piece of a mesh laundry bag from Target.
Fold Over Elastic – Available in a variety of colors at byAnnie, or search on Etsy for the largest selection from lots of shops (I prefer 1″ which is harder to find but easier to sew).
Long Zipper – I prefer a purse or sport zipper as the zipper tape is wider and easier to sew. I buy all my zippers from ZipIt on Etsy or at byAnnie.

Oh thank you, thank you! I bought the pattern when it came out and this very morning I was thinking how sad it was that I haven’t tried it yet!
Just what I needed!
I’m really excited about doing the sew-along, and following everyone’s progress on IG.
Today I posted on IG, and the link @sewluxfabric didn’t connect to anything. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve got my Flora Supply Case supplies and now I’m ready to cut everything out and get sewing. #florasupplycase #florasewalong @sewlux. Carla from Utah
