- Felt
- Snap button
- Awl
- Pliers
- Scissors
- Pinking shears
- Sewing machine

Steps to sew your memory game
1. Prepare the material
- Cut 12 felt squares measuring 5 x 5 cm.
- Cut 12 fabric squares measuring 4 x 4 cm, making sure there are 2 squares of each print.
- Trim the edges of the printed fabrics using pinking shears to add a decorative touch.
2. Make the game pieces
- Place each fabric square on a felt square and pin it.
- Sew around the edges of each square with a straight stitch.
3. Sew the case to keep the pieces in
- Cut the fabrics: one strip of recycled canvas measuring 13 x 40 cm and a second strip of printed fabric of the same size, as well as a square measuring 8 x 8 cm.
- Decorate the case: cut the edges of the printed fabric square with the pinking shears and pin onto the canvas 7 cm from the edge. Sew a straight seam to attach the square.
- Sew the strips: place the canvas and printed fabric strips with right sides facing each other and sew 1 cm from the edge around, leaving a 5-cm opening to turn it right side out.
- Turn it right side out: turn the case so the right side is on the outside and turn all the corners well.
- Shape the case: fold the case in half, pin the sides and sew with straight stitch.
- Place the snap button: use an awl to make a hole 2 cm from the top edge and apply the snap button with the pliers.
