St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner and most of us forget that the day is a solemn religious holiday that commemorates the death of St. Patrick.  So for this occasion I decided to make a St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch that you can use all year round to carry your rosary and your pocket rosary prayer book with you wherever you go. This is a simple beginners sewing project so I encourage everyone to give this one a try.

What you will Need:

• 1/4 yd. Outer fabric
• 1/4 yd. Lining fabric
• 1/4 yd. Fusible fleece
• 1 Heavy Duty Snap
• Remnant of ribbon
• 1/2″ Swivel hook
• Small Spring Clip
• Shamrock charm
• Rosary
• My pocket rosary

Step 1: St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

Cut out 5″ x 9″ pieces of outer fabric, lining fabric, and fusible fleece.  Round the ends of one end of each of the pieces to be used as the flap.

Step 2: St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

Fuse the fleece to the wrong side of the outer fabric.  Place the lining fabric right sides together with the outer fabric.  Place a 2 1/2″ piece of ribbon through a 1/2″ swivel clip and a small spring clip. Lineup the ribbon with the raw edges of the pouch so the swivel clip faces inside.  Pin.  Stitch around the exterior using 1/4″ seam allowance and leaving a small opening for turning.

Step 3: St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

Turn to right sides out and press.  Top stitch all the way around closing the opening you left for turning.

Step 4: St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

Fold the bottom half of the pouch up toward the top and sew along the sides creating the pouch.

Step 5: St. Patrick’s Padded Pocket Rosary Pouch

Add the Snap following manufacturers direction.  I added mine 2″ in from the side and 1″ down from the top of the pouch and 2″ in from the side and 1/2″ down from the top of the middle of the pouch.  This secures the pouch firmly.
