MOD CROCHET ASTHMA INHALER POUCH; Castle Rock-WA

Crochet Asthma Inhaler Pouch; Castle Rock-WA

Shifting things around the house, this evening - I noticed a bag of cotton yarn scraps 🧶 laying around, and got to thinking of how they could be used 🤔; that led me to designing ✍️ & crafting ✂️ several colorful pouches ✅ that I can slip my asthma inhaler into & attach to my wrist watch; matching my design to the clothing in my closet 👌

Each pouch take about a half hour to work up, & measures 2"x 2" with a 2-1/2" strap closure.
