Materials
4 pieces of fabric, each measuring 10cm x 15cm
2 pieces of fabric, each measuring 10cm x 10cm
Equipment
Fabric Scissors
Sewing machine
Matching thread
Iron and Ironing board
Pins of fabric clips
Instructions
Step 1
Cut all six fabric pieces to size:
Four pieces at 10cm x 15cm
Two pieces at 10cm x 10cm
Step 2
Take two 10cm x 10cm pieces and two of 10cm x 15cm pieces. Fold each one in half lengthwise wrong sides together, and press with an iron to create a crisp crease.
Step 3
Take the two unfolded 10cm x 15cm pieces. Lay one flat with the right side facing down, and place the second one on top, with the right side facing up.
Step 4
Now start layering the folded pieces on top, all with the folded edges facing inwards. Place one folded 10cm x 10cm piece at the top. Place one folded 10cm x 15cm piece on the left side. Place the second folded 10cm x 10cm piece at the bottom. Place the second folded 10cm x 15cm piece along the right side. Tuck just one end of the last piece so it overlaps.
Step 5
Use pins or clips to secure all the layers. Sew all the way around the outer edge with 1cm seam allowance.
Step 6
Snip the corners and trim any bulky fabric. Turn the pouch right side out and press flat with an iron.
