Japanese Fabric Pouch

To continue my sewing craze, my third pouch in line is one for the tissues. I am not much of a clean freak but i do carry 1 packet of wet wipes and 1 packet of tissues with me wherever I go. Or at least I try to. Sometimes I forget. Here's to hoping the pouches will help me remember.

This is the easiest pouch to make! And it is even reversible!

Here's what you need:
your template of the pouch
2 pieces of fabic
1 tag

Here's how to prepare:
cut out 2 pieces of fabric in the shape of your template.
The shape of the fabric is that of the template plus another body. So it consists of the flap (the curved part), the body and the body again.











Here's how to do it:
First, sew the 2 bodies together, from the inside, along the perimeter.
Remember to sew in the tag as well.












Then, place the inside piece into the outside piece and sew along the opening of the pouch and the flap.















And it's done!
If you want, you can add a little design. I made a flower using the clay and made it into a pin.
