I made a new shape pouch .
The zipper opening has a curve shape, and there is a pleats on the side of the pouch, so it looks rugby ball or balloon.
When you open the zipper, the opening opens wide, making it easier to find the contents inside.
Make your own pretty pouch that you can easily make.

You may watch the full video tutorial on my Youtube channel.
Share this video with a lot of people who need it.
Seam allowances are 3/8″ unless otherwise specified.
Let's get started!!
To make this you will need:
Outer layer ( quilting cotton )
1 10¼″ × 16½″ (26㎝ × 42㎝)
Lining ( quilting cotton )
1 10¼″ × 16½″ (26㎝ × 42㎝)
Zipper
1 10″(25㎝)
Interfacing (Fusible Fleece – 987F Fusible Fleece or Vilene H630)
1 10¼″ × 16½″ (26㎝ × 42㎝)
The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.
Fuse the fusible fleece, centered, to the wrong side of the outer.
Draw the pattern.
And cut the outer and lining into the shape of the pattern.
With sharp scissors make small snips on both sides of the zipper tape.
Place the zipper centred right sides together (zipper pull down) on top of the external pouch piece.
Use pins while sewing a 3/8” from the raw edge down the zipper starting on the zipper tab and finishing on the other zipper tab.
Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving a 2-inch opening.
Make 4 pleats on each of the outer and lining.
Sew just across the straight edge of both ends.
Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening.
Topstitch around the entrance.
YOU ARE FINISHED!
Happy sewing!
