Upcycled Shirt Cuff Pouch


"I love upcycling and finding ways to use up all the parts of a men’s button up shirt. I had a button up shirt that I had cut the body off for a skirt and one sleeve off for a plastic bag holder. It still had some fabric left, and I had kept it around because I knew I could think of more uses for it. I had the idea to reuse the button and buttonhole one the shirt cuff and came up with this simple pouch tutorial. It is very easy to make since there is only three straight stitching lines. It creates a pretty tiny pouch, but it works great for lotion, chapstick, earphones, or any other essential that is tiny."
