Hey guys, I made a zipper pouch.
I made a pouch tutorial before,
but this is a simpler version.
Also, I wanted to make a bigger pouch
to store bigger items
and here’s what I did.
For my outer fabric,
I cut 2 pieces at 14” x 12”.
I also cut 2 pieces at 14” x 12”
for my inner fabric.
I used a 14” zipper.
I sewed a zigzag stitch around all edges,
to prevent fraying.
Since there isn’t a print on my fabric,
I added a piece of tape to mark the front side.
Take 1 outer fabric piece and 1 inner fabric piece.
Align the edge of the zipper
with the top of the inner fabric, front facing up.
Then, place and align the outer fabric, back facing up,
on top.
Pin and sew.
I sewed 1/4” from the edge.
When you open it up, it should look like this.
Flip it, so that the front of both pieces are shown.
I sewed an 1/8” along the fold, by the zipper.
Next, take other inner fabric piece, front facing up,
and align it with the other edge of the zipper.
Then, place the other outer fabric piece, back facing up,
on top.
I sewed 1/4” from the edge.
Move the zipper tag as you sew.
Flip it, so that the front of both pieces are shown.
I sewed an 1/8” along the fold, by the zipper.
Next, align the 2 outer fabric pieces
and the 2 inner fabric pieces.
I sewed 1/4” from the edge.
Leave an opening on the inner fabric.
Leave the zipper partly open.
I sewed 3/8” from the sides.
When doing this,
fold the zipper in half and toward the inner fabric pieces.
I measured the outer fabric pieces wrong.
They were slightly bigger than my inner fabric pieces,
so I needed to trim them.
Cut the corners to prevent bunching.
Again, I sewed a zigzag stitch, but that’s not necessary.
Next, go through the opening and turn it inside out.
Then, go through the zipper opening
and turn it inside out.
Sew the opening closed
and your zipper pouch is done.
The pouch ended up being 13” x 11”.
