Fold the pocket fabric in half and sew a 3/8″ casing along the top edge. Thread the elastic through the casing.
Wrap the top edge of the mesh fabric with fold-over elastic and stitch it in place.
Place the elastic pocket on top of the main fabric lining. Pull the elastic to match the width of the lining and secure the ends.
Place the outer fabric and lining with wrong sides together and stitch (baste) around the perimeter.
Bind the edges of the main fabric with bias tape to complete your pouch!
