Two 15.5" squares of fabric are folded into the drawstring pouch. Super easy. I already gave away the first ones that I made. One to a volunteer at the food bank, which she used to carry her bottle of water on her wrist!
Then, I spotted a failed bargello scrap that was wide enough, so I used it. Then, the watermelon pouch. I tried folding it both ways and decided the green on outside was best.
I used light fusible interfacing on main piece for body. On one pouch, I fused the 2 remnant strips in the center of the square fabric, avoiding corners, and it stood up well.
I only have blue cording (4mm), which is why watermelon has no drawstrings! For now.
As usual, I typed the steps to follow for my own well-being.
