I love this pouch so much...because it is so easy to make and it is extremely cute! Here is what you need:* 2 pieces of square fabrics: this one was 10"x10" (small), the other one was 20"x20" (big)
* 2 pieces of strings: 29" (small) and 35" (big) --> this can be adjusted to your own style
1. Cut the 2 contrasting fabrics into your desired squares
2. Pin all around the 2 squares together (right sides together)
3. Sew all around the two fabrics (right sides together) and leave enough gap to turn the fabrics around - for the small one I did about 1/4" all around, for the bigger one I did about 3/8" all around
4. Cut the edges to reduce bulk
5. Turn the square (right sides out) and top stitch all around (approximately 1/8")
6. Measure from the edge of the corners 3" (small) or 6" (big) and fold
7. Stitch from the end of the folded corner to the other end 5/8" (small) or 6/8" (big)
8. Put in the 2 strings and voila...your own little flower pouch...easy, right? :)
When do you sleep??? I think I am going to have to try this for big sis:)
