Instructions

• Cut two squares, each 7" x 12"


• Cut a length of hook-and-loop tape 6" long. I made my hook-and-loop tape 3/4 of an inch wide.


• Sew the hook-and-loop tape to each 7" side of the inside pocket fabric, on the right side. (See I Have to Say's tutorial if this is unclear. I forgot to get a picture of this.)


• Fold both rectangle in half, long-wise, right-sides together. Stitch down the sides, leaving a gap for turning on the inside pouch fabric. Leave the top open.


• Clip Corners


• Flip the inside pouch out, so the right side is out. Leave the outer pouch wrong-side out.


• Place the inside pouch into the outside pouch


• Pin the edges, so the outer seams match up. Stitch around the top of the pouch.


• Pull the inner pouch out.


• Flip the whole snack sack right-side out, using the hole you left in stitching the inner pouch.


• Stitch the turning opening shut.


• Stuff the inner pouch back into the outer pouch.

Project Rating: This project was easy and entirely enjoyable. From start to finish, it took me 40 minutes. I love the result.
