10 Minute Mini Pouch

You need:
2 different fabric squares, 8 inch
1 8 inch square fusible web
2 Buttons, about 1/2 inch diameter
matching thread
hand sewing needle, thimble (optional)
ruler
marking pen or pins
sewing machine
iron and board
 
Iron the fusible web to the back of one square. Lay the 2 squares together with right sides facing, sew around with a 1/4" seamallowance, leaving an opening for turning. Trim the corners, turn out to the right side. Press to get nice edges and corners. Step around with about 1/8" from the edge = that closes the opening too. Fold the square on the diagonal to get a triangle. The inside fabric will show as the divided square on the finished pouch. At the bottom of the triangle measure and mark 3/4" from both end points. Sew the buttons there in place. Fold again the triangle. Measure and mark 1 1/2" from the top of the triangle on both sides. Sew together with a few stitches at the marking. Now slip the buttons into the slit, press the forming square and you are done.
