Let's get started!!
To make this you will need:
◎ Main Panel
② 7¾″ × 6¾″ (19.5㎝ × 17㎝) Outer layer
② 7¾″ × 6¾″ (19.5㎝ × 17㎝) Lining
② 7″ × 6″ (17.5㎝ × 15㎝) Fusible fleece
◎ Inside Pocket
② 5¾″ × 8″(14.5㎝ × 20㎝) Lining
◎ Others
① 6″ (15㎝) Zipper
① 2″ × 1¼″ (5㎝ × 3㎝) Zipper end fabric
The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.
Fold the inner pocket right sides together in half, and sew 3 sides, leaving an opening.
Clip the corners and turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening. Place the inner pocket on the right side of the lining and sew.
Place the zipper end fabric at the end of the zipper. Sew with a 3/8″ seam allowance.
Fold the fabric and sew to finish the zipper end.
Align the zipper within 5/8″ of both ends of the lining. Sew with a seam allowance of 1/4″.
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.
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.
Flip the layers so the outer bag pieces are right sides together, and the lining pieces are right sides together. Sew all the way around with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving an opening.
Turn out our zipper pouch through the hole that we left not stitched. After this, sew up this hole, and the zipper pouch is ready!
YOU ARE FINISHED!
Happy sewing!
