Today, I'll show you how I make button pouches. I think it's an easy way, but I've never learned sewing techniques, so if you know better way, please tell me!
This pouch measures 15 cm wide, 13 cm tall.
To make it, you need the outer fabric, the inner fabric and batting. Each measures 16 cm wide, 37 cm long(with 5 mm allowance).
I patchworked the outer fabric, so I cut fabrics like the following.
-yellow flower printed fabric: two strips, 3.5 cm x 37 cm and 10.5 cm x 37 cm (with 5 mm allowance)
-patchwork: 12 pieces of 4 cm x 4 cm(with 5 mm allowance)
At first, sew each square pieces to make a long strip and iron it.
Then, put the three strips like the picture, and sew together.
Iron it again.
Then, quilt the outer fabric and batting(Only these two!).
Place the outer on the batting, and baste them.
Then, quilt it. I sewed approx. 1-2 mm inside of each square.
Put the inline fabric on the outer fabric to make the right side inside, and sew the two edges(the shorter edges).
Turn it out and stitch the edge which comes to the top of the pocket.
Then, turn it out again and place it making the pocket.(The stitch line of the top of the pocket comes to the middle).
Sew the side line leaving the space to turn it out.
Turn it out and close the space.
Put the button and make the button hole. I made it with Sashiko thread.
That's all!
Thank you very much for reading this long post. I felt many difficulties to explain it in English, but I did it anyway!

Hello!
I really like your how to. I was wondering if I could translate it in French and add it to my list of how to as explained in my french post (http://www.petitcitron.com/index.php/form_howto.html)
Of course, your website would be quoted and there would be a link!
Thank you,

I'm late to comment, but I wanted to say I really like your fabrics and that you chose to make a patchwork strip. Very pretty. And you really do a good job of explaining in English. ;)
Hello Perrine,
Thank you very much for your comment.
I'm happy if you translate it in French. If you have any question, please tell me!
Hello Muddlepud,
Thank you! I like patchwork with small pieces.
Wow! Love this! Linking today...
I've spent the last couple of nights in front of the TV sewing 2 of these pouches and I've loved it! I don't usually sew so it has been great to revisit hand stitching and I'm hooked! I had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to fold the fabric so it was a pocket shape when I turned it right side out. But after unpicking it several times I got it! I'm so pleased with them!
Great job with the tutorial. Thanks so much!
Beautiful pouch! Thanks for the tutorial. I can't believe you do it all by hand.

VERY informative. I'll be making some juice in the near future. Passing this onto my friends. Thanks.
Hi, good post. I’ll definitely be coming back to your site.
Excelent article . I completely agree with that. A good site. My appreciation to you for you good efforts.
Hey, there's a great deal of helpful information above!
Goodness, there is a lot of worthwhile info in this post!
Thank you very much for that post.
It was so easy to follow and helped me a lot.
I can't understand it at all. The pictures don't match the words, so I don't know if the fabric should be facing wrong side or right sides together. I don't know how to sew up the long parts at all and turn them out. When I do it as it looks like you are saying, it won't turn our properly. I have spent two hours on it so far trying and trying. I've tried lots of ways and they are all wrong.
