2nd, measure 12cm and fold, then fold the excess part as flap. Use your thumb to mark the folds;
3rd, overlap a lime green clover on the green one and lay them on the beige felt at lower left corner of the front side. Running stitch along the edge of the lime green clover;

It’s not difficult to make this embroidered four-leaf clover felt pouch. But there is one thing should be noticed, when embroidering the stem, you’d better draw the pattern with pencil before sewing if you’re not proficient in embroidery.
