Speedy Button Pouch

I recently wrote a post about how to create a no-sew fabric lining using the Cricut Maker. But I needed something to line, and I'd also noticed a need for a few more small pouches/pockets/and organizers in my office, and when I travel. So I whipped this up super fast (and lined it in just minutes) - the Speedy Button Pouch!

With Super Bulky Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick and big hook, I don't think I've ever created a faster pattern. But it sure does come in handy!
