Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful things a woman can go through. Too many lists to make & cross out, so many details to think about. So to all the brides out there, I'm offering to you this vintage handkerchief...
...to Tada! -- it's now a bridal pouch!
Just fold the handkerchief in half, then in thirds.
Sew the edges and add a button with an elastic loop to the flap.
The blushing bride can use this to carry the important things
she will need for her big day like
tissues & blotting paper (no shiny faces!).

That's a very cute pouch! I also love the shadow box in a previous post- so creative...
