  Step 1

  Cut out a square about 11" x 11". That's about all the fabric I had, but if you want to make it 12" that's better to ensure that the silverware fits into the pouch.

• 

  Step 2

  Save the leftover fabric for the pockets!

• 

  Step 3

  Get out your ironing board, this is the least fun step, but it makes things so much easier.

• 

  Step 4

  Iron each side in about 1/2 inch.

• Step 5

  Cut off the corners. Repeat on the other square.

• 

  Step 6

  Pin the two together, right side out.

• 

  Step 7

  Starting at the top side, sew around all the edges. Before you get to the last side, pin a ribbon between the two sides. I made mine about 3" in length. You need this to roll the whole thing up and tie it together, so make sure you get it in the middle.

• 

  Step 8

  Now roll up the fabric how it will be with silverware in it (loosely). Mark where the ribbon meets the other side of the fabric (about 1/2 inch apart) with a pin.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut out your pockets out of the left over fabric. Make it about 2.5 inches wide and whatever length you want.

• 

  Step 10

  Pin the pockets on where you want them.

• 

  Step 11

  Make sure that your silverware doesn't stick out. Test it before you sew! I had this problem the first time I made mine. Especially test chopsticks because they're longer. Sew the pockets on, put the silverware in, and.... you've got a silverware carrier that didn't cost $20 like on www.reusablebags.com!
