THINGS TO REMEMBER

• I highly recommend using one-sided fusible foam to give the required shape to this pouch. (I am using Legacy Flex-Foam 1-sided fusible stabiliser).
• For a coherent look, choose a non-directional print for both the outer and inner layers.
• Linen, canvas or quilting cotton will give your pouch a sturdy, polished finish.
• Press the fabrics with a warm iron before cutting to keep them wrinkle free.
• Print the templates provided at the bottom of the page, and check the 1" test square to ensure accurate sizing.
