Make your two most essential accessories prettier with pouches to protect a mobile phone and your glasses with this pouch pattern from Cheryl Goss, which also makes great gifts to give to family and friends.

• Two quick and easy projects that only require fat eighths and scraps from your stash
• Embellish your pouches with easy hand embroidery stitches: cross stitch, lazy daisy and French knots
• The mobile-phone pouch features flap with snap fastener and external lined pocket for business cards, shopping lists or notes
• Adjust the size of the mobile phone pouch to suit the size of your phone
• The glasses case has a drawstring top edge to keep the glasses secure
• Includes instructions for making a twisted cord drawstring for the glasses case using embroidery floss that exactly matches your stitching
• Personalise them to suit your favourite colours and fabrics, or if you’re making them as gifts, make them in the recipient’s favourite colours and fabrics
• A delightful gift to make for family and friends that won’t take much fabric or time
• This project is great for a beginner, especially one who enjoys making practical, not just decorative, projects
