This is an easy to make fabric pouch that will hang on your belt. Make it out of denim (cut up an old pair of jeans and recycle! Or use heavy rip stop vinyl for a waterproof bag.

Materials, Tools and Directions:

3/8 yard of heavy fabric, pins or iron on hem tape, sewing machine

• Cut one piece of fabric 8" x 12" and one piece 8" x 7 1/2". Lay the short piece over the long with one of the short edges even, and use the pattern to cut the corners off the bottom edges of both pieces.
• On the long piece, measure 7" up from the bottom and make a 1/2" clip at either side. (Optional: You could make a pencil line across the fabric from one clip to another on the wrong side of the fabric to mark the clip line, or use a pin to mark the line.)
• Turn a 1/2" hem on the top edge of both pieces. On the long piece, also turn and hem the sides from the clips to the top.
• Now fold down the top edge of the long piece so that the top edge of the fabric meets the clip line. Sew a double seam along the hemmed edge. Leave the sides open so you can slip it on your belt.
• Layer the two pieces of fabric, right sides together, lining up the bottom edges and sew around the sides and the bottom. Don't sew across the top hem. (The small piece shouldn't overlap the belt loop. If it does, adjust the length at the bottom so the top hem of the small piece is right under the hem of the belt loop.) Turn right sides out and make a double row of stitching around the sides and bottom.
• Your belt bag is ready to use.
