The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.

Fuse the fusible fleece, centered, to the wrong side of the outer.
Cut 2″ × 2″ ( 5㎝ × 5㎝ ) squares.

Fold the fabric cut in the bias direction by 1 cm at both ends.
Then fold in half horizontally.
Align the outer fabric with the center, place it on the top line and sew.

Make a handle and temporarily sew it to the outer fabric.

Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving one side.

Place the right sides together of the pouch panel and cover panel and sew with an allowance of about 1/4″.

Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
And sew the bottom by matching the sides and bottom.
Then turn inside out.

The lining is made in the same way as the outer, but leaves a opening.

Lay the outer and lining face to face and sew the entrance.

Turn out the pouch bag through the opening.
After this, sew up this opening.

Start inserting the string through one end of the casing, using a safety pin.
Continue inserting the string into the casing on the other side.
Next, take the other string and start inserting it through the casing from the opposite side. Continue as before.
Tie the ends of the string in a knot and pull the ends to close the bag.

YOU ARE FINISHED!

Happy sewing!
