Make a pouch!

During the summer, i had my sister over and i was trying to explain how to make a pouch, without actually doing it with her. THat was silly, cause it made pouch making seem an awful lot more tricky that it actually is...


1) you need:

-1 Zip
-2 pieces of outer fabric, cut to length of zip and depth of however deep you want your pouch
-2 pieces of lining, the same size as the outer.



2) First, get your zipper foot on your machine. Then unzip your zip, and sandwich one edge of it between your lining and outer fabric. Make sure your zip is FACING your outer. Pin and sew.

When you open it, it will look like this:



3) repeat the same with the other side. Again, make sure the zip is facing the outer fabric.




when you open it it will look like this:



4) Open it out and face the lining to the lining and the outer to the outer, like this:




5) UNDO ZIP to halfway at this point.. very important...



6) now sew all the way around the outer edge leaving a gap in the lining. make sure you sew over the zip ends.




7) Turn the whole thing inside out through the gap you left.



8) stitch up the gap.



9) and voila! you have a cute little pouch!
