Cluster Stitch Money Pouch

This little pouch is just the thing you need if you are walking to a store or flea market and you do not want to carry your big purse or wallet around. It would also be good for kids to carry their lunch money in at school. Of course you can find other uses for it as well like storing playing dice.

Random Quick Tip!

What Size Hook?
If you are the type to have many projects going at the same time and some of those projects require the same size hook, well what do you do to mark your spot and remember what hook size is needed? Well, Julie Morash gave me the idea of making a marker which would have the size hook on it and then you would stick it in your work. Well I went with this concept and came up with using a plastic tab from a loaf of bread and mark the size hook on it with a magic marker and put it at the last stitch. That way, when you go back to work on the project, you will know what size hook to use for it. Thanks Julie for the inspiration and the idea plant.
