How to Make a Flat Pouch
-
Make the handle. With the front sides facing outside, fold it in quarters and sew the two ends of the long side.
-
Align the patterns on the two pieces of outer fabric. Since the patterns have a specific direction, perform this step first.
-
With the front sides facing each other, place the two outer fabric pieces together and sew along the long edge.
-
Sew the zipper onto the long edge of the outer fabric. Place the zipper with the teeth facing down so that the end of the zipper is 5 mm from the edge of the fabric, and sew at 5 mm from the end of the zipper.
-
Turn the lining fabric inside out, and align the center of the fabric with the center of the zipper.
-
Sew along both sides.
-
Trim the seam allowances and apply zigzag stitches on the edges.
-
Use a stiletto to bring out the corners.
