Fabric (two fat quarters)
Fleece (iron-on fleece: 10x28cm (4x11in))
Plastic poppers
Large lobster clasps (x3)
Marker (erasable marker pen)

Step 1

Draw around the jewellery roll pattern template – available here – and on your outer and lining fabrics. Cut out, leaving a 1cm (³⁄₈in) seam allowance.

Step 3

Using the jewellery roll template, cut a piece of iron-on fleece to size but without any seam allowance. Iron it onto the wrong side of the outer fabric.

Step 4

Use the template to cut the pocket piece from the lining fabric. Turn the short edges over by 1cm (³⁄₈in) to the WS and stitch down to hem.

Step 5

Sandwich the pocket piece (raw edges facing the lining) between the outer and lining fabrics.

Step 6

Pin and sew all the way around the edges using the fleece as a guide. Remember to leave a small gap to turn it through.

Step 7

Snip around the corners. This will reduce bulk when turning RS out.

Step 8

Turn it right side out, making sure the pockets are on the lining side. Pin and sew the line which creates the bottom of the pockets.
