Materials needed
Zip in co-ordinationg colour to fabric- 8'' or 10'' long
cut x2 outside fabric cut to 9''x 6 1/2''
cut x2 lining fabric cut to 9'' x 6 1/2''
Thread
Zipper foot and normal sewing foot
Place outside fabric facing up once you have cut it to the size you need it
Place zip facing down. If you have a zip that is too long it can be sewn over and cut down
Then place lining fabric on top- they should all line up at the top.
Pin and sew 1/4'' using a zipper foot along the top edge.
I couldn't decide what colour zip to use but choose the white with this fabric. It should look like this when you open it out after you have sewn along the edge.
Now repeat with the other side of the zip placing and pinning outside fabric, zip and lining and sew together. It should look like this below.

Outside |

Inside |
Sew 1/4'' around the outside and make sure you leave an opening in the lining fabric. Trim off corners
Now turn it in the right way.
Press and pin closed the gap once you have pushed out all the corners. Sew the gap closed.
Now you can push the lining and you have a fully lined zipper pouch!
I'm glad you trimmed those corners young lady!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! This was my first time sewing anything with zippers and this was easy to follow. I made two pencil cases for my nephews and they look great!
