Description

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.

Instructions

  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. Small 115806 2f2017 02 06 153412 1

    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.

    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!
