Need a quick little project to take with you on the go? Or a simple project to use up leftover cotton or scrubby yarn?

These little mesh soap saver pouches are in constant use in my house, for fancy hand-made soap, commercial soap or even body wash. They work up in a flash, and would make great stocking stuffers or party gifts for the holidays.
