Tutorial: Cash Stasher Key Chain, plus a machine embroidery file for ITH

Joy from Joy’s Jots, Shots & Whatnots shows how to make her Cash Stasher Key Chain. It’s a small pouch with an envelope back that attaches to your key ring and will hold a small bit of folded money. If you have an embroidery machine, you can use it to make this small pouch keychain entirely in the hoop. She shares a free embroidery file for the project in .PES format. Or, if you don’t have an embroidery machine, she also shares a tutorial showing how to make one on a regular sewing machine. Go to her blog for the embroidery file and the sewing tutorial.
