    Step 1: cut 2 oblongs of fabric (mine were slightly bigger than A4) now cut 4 pieces of fabric ( 2 for each pocket) or one piece folded over, I used the black check as the inside of my pocket. take 2 pieces of pocket fabric and sew together down the long side, turn and press, do the same with the other side.

    Step 3: place a pocket on each side, I decided to sew lines to make smaller pockets, its entirely up to you, depends what you want to fill it with. I hand sewed the pin cushion to the pocket, take care not to sew all the way through, or else you wont be able to use a pocket I added a small felt oblong for putting needles in,

    Step 2: Use your sewing machine to sew around the edge of the paper pattern to create your fabric envelope. Remove the paper and then cut out your shape. Remembering to clip any seams.

    Step 3: Make a small insertion on the lining part so you can turn your envelope the correct way out. (see picture).
