The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.

Fuse the interfacing, centered, to the wrong side of the outer layer.
Place the wrong sides together of the outer and lining and sew with an allowance of about 1/4″.
And cut the fabric into the shape of the pattern.

Place the zipper right sides together on top of the outer layer.
Place the lining on top of the zip.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Open out, press pieces away from the zipper.
Attach the outer and lining to the other side of the zip the same way.
Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on both 1/8” away from the zipper.

On one side of the zipper panel, place the outer and lining of the right sides.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
And open out, press pieces.

On the other side of the zipper panel, place the outer of the right sides.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Fold the seam of the lining and place on the zipper panel and sew.

Place the right sides together of the zipper panel and bottom panel and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Use the same process to sew the top panel to the other side of the zipper panel.

The bias tape is placed and pinned as pictured, stitch up to the end.
And stitch from the right side seam into seam, or sew manually from the backside.

Turn right side out.

YOU ARE FINISHED!
