</b>
Choose a sturdy, medium-weight or tightly woven fabric which will hold
its shape when folded and ironed flat e.g. denim jeans, curtain
material, cotton trousers. This is a quick project so you can
experiment with different fabrics and different sizes. The no-sew
folding technique means that if you go wrong you can quickly unfold and
re-iron. It also means that if you no longer need your pouch you can
simply unfold it and use the fabric for another project.</td>

</b>
Cut your fabric into a rectangle with its length roughly twice its
width. In our example a 48cm by 27cm rectangle of fabric made a pouch
just the right size to use as a pencil case or glasses case. You can
measure out your fabric using dressmaker’s chalk or even just a pencil
and cut your fabric with pinking shears to help minimise frayed edges.</td>

Iron your fabric

down. Decide which of the two narrow ends will be your ‘top’ and fold
this back on itself 3 cm so that you create a flap, as pictured. Iron

Turn the fabric over so that the underside is uppermost. Fold the each

If you feel you would like to secure the top to prevent the pouch
unfolding, you can use a badge or even just a safety pin and pass this
through the layers of fabric. We decorated our safety pin by bending
open its circular end and threading on beads. Alternatively even though
this is a ‘no-sew’ pouch you could sew on a button to secure the top if
you wanted to.</td></tr></table>
