To make a pouch begin with 4 pieces of fabric (two of outer fabric, two of lining fabric) all cut the same length as the full length of your zipper and any width you choose. Make a zipper sandwich. Place 1 piece of lining fabric face up, then the zipper and then the outer fabric right side facing down.
How to make a zippered pouch?
Prepare the fabrics. As always I recommend washing and drying your fabric. Iron it well and cut out the desired dimensions.
Align the fabrics. Set one piece of lining fabric on your workspace,with its face up. Then put the zipper on it,also face up.
Sew the zipper. Put your zipper presser foot on your sewing machine and start sewing along the edge where the zipper is.
Align the fabrics one more time. Put your other lining fabric piece on your workspace with its face up.
Repeat the sewing process. Sew the zipper one more time just like you did in the second step of this zip pouch tutorial.
Press the seams. Open up the layers so that the zipper is in the middle. Flip the whole thing over so that the main fabric is facing up.
Topstitch along the zipper. Make a stitch along the edge of the zipper on both the left and the right side of the zipper.
Prepare the pouch for the final sewing. Pull the zipper about 3/4 of the way down.
Sew around the zipper pouch. Sew all around the pouch,from the lining over the main fabric and back to the lining.
Trim and turn. Snip the corners and the ends of the zipper. Then turn the whole pouch inside-out through the opening you left.
Sew the opening shut. Fold the edges on the opening inwards a bit and sew over them,shutting the opening closed. Tuck the lining into the pouch.
