Super simple, very quick and so effective. Knock yourself up a new travelcard card (or bank or other card) holder, with just a tiny scrap of fabric. You can of course decorate your fabric, make it out of tiny patches, do some free motion embroidery on it, cross stitch a name or something to make smile on it, it’s up to you.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Fabric
  • Sewing Machine

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start with a 4.5” x 6.5” piece of fabric. If you want to decorate it you will have to do that first. Once that’s done you can finish the edges with pinking shears, a zig zag stitch or an ovelocker. Fold the bottom edge over 1/4”, pin and stich this down.

  2. 2

    Then fold the fabric short edges together, with the right side of the fabric together, and the stitched (bottom) edge 1” below the folded edge.

  3. 3

    Fold the top flap over the bottom by ¾” and pin down the side edges. Stitch with a ½” seam allowance. Cut the corners away and turn the pouch the right way round. Done!
