27cm
(11")
equal
sides
NOTE:
Only
a
small
part
of
the
fabric
will
be
seen
in
the
front
so
small
print
is
best.
-‐
One
30.5cm
(12")
square
fabric
for
lining
and
binding
-‐
One
27cm
(11")
square
low

this
tutorial)
-‐
Two
40cm

ZIPPER
below)
TOOLS NEEDED
-‐
Rotary
cuJer
and
mat
NOTE:
Each
of
outer
fabrics
should
be
lower
half
of
triangle

If

use
non-‐direcFonal
prints,
you
can
use
upper
half
too.

I

My

Then
sFtch

(I
used
my

parallel

The
marks
disappear

iron
but
they
will
reappear
if
it

Now you start to see that we are making
TWO pouches at the same time!

5.
Cut
the
panel
diagonally
in
half
so
each
side
has
both
fabrics.
Place
a
zipper
tape
good
side
down
on
the
panel
right
side
facing
up.
Leave
the
excess
of
the
zipper
tape
at
the
both
ends
as
they
are.
We
will
insert
a
pull
on
the
tape
from
here.
Then,
the
lining
fabric
wrong
side
up,
lining
up
with
the
edges.
Use
sewing
clips
or
basFng
thread
to
keep
it
from
moving.
SFtch
using
a
0.7cm
(1/4")
seam
allowance.
NOTE:
For
nylon
coil
zippers,
the
raised
part
is
the
good
side.

NOTE:
Lining
fabric
is
larger
than
the
pieced
panel
but
don't
worry.
We
will
trim
later.

6.
P
ress
the
seam
open,
and
fold
the
lining
over
the
seam.
Now
the
quilted
panel
and
the
lining
are
wrong
sides
together.
Press
again.
Use
sewing
clips
or
basFng
thread
and
topsFtch
along
the
seam.
7.
Fold
the
panel
so
that
the
zipper
tapes
meet
in
the
center
front
diagonally.
Make
sure
the
point
where
two
fabrics
meet
is
on
the
folded
corner.

R
eaJach
the
pull
on
the
tape.
NOTE:
For
nylon
coil
zippers,
reaJaching
the
zipper
pull
may
be
a
liJle
tricky.
It
helps
if
you
cut
about
2cm
(3/4")
of
the
zipper
teeth
off
of
1
side
of
the
tape.
Then
slide
the
uncut
side
first
into
the
zipper
pull
and
then
insert
the
cut
side.
Firmly
holding
both
tapes,
slide
the
zipper
pull
up
the
zipper
teeth.
9.
Trim
to
11cm
(4
3/8")
square.
My
method
is
to
use
my
rotary
cuJer
to
cut
the
fabric
and
scissors
to
cut
zipper
tape.
