How to make a quick Zippy Pouch. Easiest and fastest zip pouch to sew up! Finished size 7" x 5".
1. Enlarge cloud template to 200% and print. Trace and cut cloud pattern from template.
2. Pin template to fabric pieces. Cut 2 outer pieces and 2 lining pieces of fabric from the pattern. Mark the opening for the zipper and for the notches on to the fabric.
3. With right sides together (RST), align one outer piece and one lining piece. Place zipper face down in between the layers. The top of the zipper tape should align with top of fabric pieces. Using a zipper foot, sew the fabric and zipper tape together. [fig 1]
4. Press. Top-stitch along the fold. [fig 2]
5. Repeat step 3 and sew the other outer piece and lining piece to the opposite side of the zipper tape. [fig 3] Press and top-stitch on this side. [fig 4]
6. With RST, fold and pin the outer pieces together and the lining pieces together. Open the zipper halfway (end of the zipper should be pinned to the lining pieces) and sew around as shown. Leave a 3" opening at the top of the lining. Cut notches where indicated. [fig 5]
7. Turn the pouch right sides out through the lining opening and carefully push out the curves and corners. Press and pin the opening in the lining and stitch closed. Tuck the lining into the pouch and press. [fig 6]
