| The first thing I did was make a pattern that looks like a tall house. The dimensions will be different for different sized business cards. |
 |
| For my pouch I used a scrap of printed fabric (this is a great project for using up old scraps), an old mustard yellow shirt, and some lace. |
 |
| Using your pattern, cut two pieces of fabric. One for the inside and one for the outside. |
 |
| Next I sewed on the lace. You can skip the lace, or add a different detail, if you want. |
 |
| Then I pined the two pattern pieces down, right sides together, and sewed around the sides, leaving the bottom open for turning. (Tip: Make sure you back stitch) |
 |
| Next I trimmed the corners, so that when I turn them they'll be pointed. |
 |
| After I turned the whole thing right side out, I ironed it flat. |
 |
| I also ironed the opening so that the raw edges were facing inward. |
 |
| Next I sewed the opening closed with a top stitch. |
 |
| Then pined like so.... |
 |
| ......and sewed a top stitch around the rest of it. |
 |
| And thats it! You can use this pouch for business cards, or as a wallet. I made one for my sister that she uses for her ipod and ear-buds. I hope this tutorial helped you out in some way. Leave a comment telling me what you think. Have a great day! |
