I picked up some adorable fat quarters at the store the other day (on a whim - I'm so bad!) and when I stumbled across this tutorial I knew exactly what they'd be used for. If you're familiar with bias tape, zippers, and vinyl, then you're good to go on this project. Definitely not for a beginner, however. Tutorial here by the way, from Haberdashery. Looking back over the tutorial (I glanced at it for measurements before I dove in, multitasking with Hulu) I realize I did my vinyl + zipper right sides together, which left it looking uneven. Two fixes for this:
1) Cut my vinyl straighter like Haberdashery and sew it like hers, so it lays flat or 2) Make one large vinyl-zipper piece with right sides together, then top stitch down. I've also seen a number of other designs for jewelry rolls - specifically ones with"ring rolls" and those with clasps for long necklaces. I think incorporating those into this design would make a great gift for someone who wears that type of jewelry! (I don't). It measures ~8 x 10 with cutesy rounded corners and 3 vinyl zip pockets. I chose to divide the smaller one (1.5" tall) into two pockets for earrings, and the other two are big enough for watch, bracelet, etc. What do you think?
