    Make a map wallet

    1. Download the reversed UK template. Print and transfer the outline to the paper side of fusible webbing. Cut it out roughly and iron onto the wrong side of a green piece of Tana Lawn.

    2. Cut the shapes out neatly and iron them to a 30cm x 45cm piece of tweed, so that Norfolk lies 5cm in from the right-hand short edge. Using contrasting sewing thread, machine or hand stitch all the way around both islands with blanket or zig zag stitch.

    3. Iron a 30cm x 45cm rectangle of fusible webbing onto the wrong side of blue Tana Lawn the same size. Peel off the backing paper and iron the adhesive side onto the back of the tweed.

    4. Trim the double-sided fabric down to 26cm x 40cm, making sure that Norfolk is now 2cm in from the edge. Create the curves on the flap by placing a jam jar lid in each top corner in turn and draw around the edge with a chalk pencil. Cut along these lines.

    5. Neaten the straight bottom edge with cotton tape, then fold up a 14cm turning
