With assembled lining right side up, center zipper right side facing up along top edge. Place the outer layer, right side down on top. Pin in place. Using your zipper foot, sew along top edge using a 3/8″ seam allowance. 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.
With assembled lining right side up, center zipper panel right side facing up along both sides. Place the outer layer, right side down on top. Sew both sides using a 3/8″ seam allowance.
Turn them right side out. Fold half and mark mid points.
Pin the Zipper panel to the Main panel, pinning first at the center. Then pin the ends in place. With sharp scissors make small snips on the gusset at the round shape of the main panel. The small snips will help the curved edge of the pouch. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
The bias tape is placed and pinned on to the seam, stitch up to the end. Stitch from the right side seam into seam, or sew manually from the backside.
YOU ARE FINISHED!
