Let's get started!!
◆ Main panel
② 14.5cm × 6.5cm (5¾" × 2⅝") Exterior
② 23.5cm × 4.5cm (9¼" × 1¾") Exterior
② 8cm × 9.5cm (3¼" × 3¾") Exterior
② 21cm × 9.5cm (8¼" × 3¾") Lining
② 21cm × 9.5cm (8¼" × 3¾") Fusible fleece
◆ Others
① Zipper_seam allowance excluded 25cm(10")
Join the Upper Main Panel and Bottom Main Panel along their connecting edges with a 0.7 cm (1/4″) seam allowance.
Press the seam open and repeat the process to create the front and back Exterior Panels with the Side Accent Panels. Apply fusible fleece to the wrong side of both Exterior Panels.
Topstitch along the joined seams to secure the seam allowances neatly.
Place the zipper on the front Exterior Panel, positioning both ends according to the pattern instructions. Clip the zipper tape seam allowance around the curved section so that the zipper can ease smoothly around the curve. Sew the zipper to the front Exterior Panel with a 0.7 cm (1/4″) seam allowance.
Attach the front Lining Panel to the zipper and sew with a 0.7 cm (1/4″) seam allowance. Trim the seam allowance to reduce bulk, then turn the panels right side out and press flat. Topstitch along the edge below the zipper, leaving both zipper ends unstitched.
Repeat the same process to attach the zipper to the back Exterior Panel and then attach the back Lining Panel. Turn the panels right side out, press flat, and topstitch below the zipper while leaving both zipper ends unstitched.
Place the Exterior Panels right sides together and fold the curved zipper sections out of the way.
Place the Lining Panels right sides together and sew around the outer edges with a 0.7 cm (1/4″) seam allowance, leaving an opening in the bottom of the Lining.
Turn the pouch right side out through the Lining opening and press the opening neatly. Fold the seam allowance inward and stitch close to the folded edge to close the opening.
Push the Lining completely inside the pouch and arrange it neatly. Finally, topstitch the remaining unstitched sections at both ends of the zipper to complete the pouch.
