Making a button closure pouch

Button Closure Pouch

My grandson, looking for something to keep busy came up with this pattern a creation on his own last weekend. Quick and easy to make.

Items needed:

Scrap material

Sewing scissors

Sewing needle

Thread

Small button

How to cut it out:

  1. Cute 2 squares approximately 3″ square
  2. Cut one triangle half the size of the square on the diagonal

Putting together the pouch:

  1. Sew by hand or machine 3 sides of the square with one right side one wrong side together
  2. On the open end on the back side sew the triangle to the square at the opening leaving the mouth of the pouch open
  3. Sew the triangle on so the wrong side shows when folded over the right side of the pouch.
  4. In the triangle lid place a small slit big enough for the button to fit through.
  5. Hand Sew the button on the front piece of the pouch. (Make sure u keep the pouch so it will open and you can put something in it.
  6. Fold the triangle over and button the triangle lid down.

You are finished with the pouch.
