It’s a compact yet eye-catching and cute piece.

Prepare a long, narrow fabric scrap, press a crease 2 cm from the edge with an iron, then fold both sides toward the center.

Fold it in half again, and cut 1 cm in from the outer edge.

Sew both ends together, turn it inside out, and it’s done in no time.

The appeal is that by carefully following these simple steps, even beginners can feel a sense of accomplishment.

It’s easy for seniors as well, and once finished, it’s handy as a practical item for holding small change or tiny accessories.

Choose a stylish pattern and it will make a lovely gift, too.
