  Step 1

  You Will Need:

  -----------------------------

  For this project, because of it's size, I decided to use scrap fabrics I had from other projects (note the floral fabric that was used for my ruffle collar tank)

  -----------------------------

  - Scrap of printed fabric
  - Scrap of plain lining
  - Fusible interfacing
  - Matching thread
  - Decorative thread
  - One large button
  - Cut out of your contraceptive traced on plain paper

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out Fabric:

  ----------------------------

  - Take your cut out and place on your fabric
  - Measure out (either with a ruler or just using your cut out) approximately 2 1/3 x the length of the cut out
  - Measure a 1/2" on either side of the cut out
  -Cut all three pieces of printed fabric, plain lining and fusible interfacing to the same size

• 

  Step 3

  Interface and Basting:

  ------------------------------

  - Apply interfacing to printed fabric following manufacturers instructions
  - Place printed fabric face side down (with interface showing) on top of plain lining piece
  - Pin in place and hand baste stitch around the perimeter of the rectangle close to the edge, removing pins as you go

• 

  Step 4

  Stitching:

  -----------------------------
  -Machine stitch with matching thread around the rectangle just inside your baste stitch
  - Leave a gap at the top so the rectangle can be turned, back stitch your starting and finishing stitches for security
  - Carefully cut and pick the baste stitches to remove thread

• 

  Step 5

  Turning the Case:

  ------------------------

  - Clip the corners on a diagonal
  - Turn rectangle inside out through the opening you left, use a rounded end object (I use a crochet hook) to poke the corners out
  - Press flat
  - Use your cut out to measure where you will fold your cover and press flat

• 

  Step 6

  Slip Stitch:

  --------------------------

  - Use a slip stitch in matching thread to close opening used to turn rectangle
  - Bury the ends
  - If you don't have the patience or time to hand stitch use your machine to sew close to the edge, back stitching at the beginning and end of the stitch line

• 

  Step 7

  Seams and Edges:

  ------------------------
  - Using the decorative thread use a blanket stitch to join the front and the back of your pouch
  - Once you reach the edge of the pouch continue stitch around the edge of the flap all the way to the other side of the pouch

• 

  Step 8

  Adding a Button Hole:

  --------------------------

  - I was in the mood to sit down and hand sew so I used the machine to stitch a button hole sized rectangle, sniped open the inside and used a button stitch to make this
  - If this is to time consuming (it kinda is) thread your machine with your decorative thread and use the button hole foot and stitched to create a machine made hole.

  Step 9

  Finishing your cover:

  --------------------

  - Last step to finish your cover is to sew your in your button
  - Place your contraceptive inside and enjoy having a pretty case that doesn't let everyone see your business
