 2. Adhere the interfacing to the lining, then place the printed fabric on top—right sides together—to trace the template.  

Trim away the excess lining and stitch around the edge, leaving an opening; notch the seam allowances, then turn the piece right side out. (Photo 2)

 3. To secure the lining, work some decorative embroidery stitches as shown in photo 3, then sew along each side as shown in photo 4. All that remains is to customize the pouch.
