Bec needed (wanted) a pouch to protect her new calculator she requires for Maths. So she chose some fabric and co-ordinating ribbon from my stash. When she asked for one of these pouches, I remembered a great tutorial from the Stop Staring and Start Sewing blog I read the other day. The tutorial was really easy to follow (I wondered why I hadn't thought of it myself!), and to make them was so quick. The only thing I did different was I lined each one in co-ordinating fabric (only because I love the way lining makes things look so neat and tidy inside, - pathetic, I know). This lady does some pretty cool stuff, so go and take a peek at her blog.

And of course, all her friends wanted one too!
With that done, I'm off to sew something for myself!
