Attach the zipper to the Front Lower Panel and Front Pocket Lining with a 0.7cm (1/4″) seam allowance. Turn the panel right side out, press, and topstitch below the zipper. Attach the zipper to the Front Upper Panel and Front Pocket Lining in the same way. Turn the panel right side out, press, and topstitch above the zipper.
Sew the Back Panel and Front Panel to the long edges of the Bottom Panel. Open and press the seams and topstitch along both edges of the Bottom Panel.
Separate the zipper into two tapes and attach one to the Front Panel and the other to the Back Panel.
Attach the Lining pieces to the zipper tapes, then turn the panels so the wrong sides of the Exterior and Lining face each other. Press and topstitch along both sides of the zipper. Insert the zipper slider, remove it, and reinsert it to align the zipper ends properly.
Turn the pouch inside out, center the zipper, align the side seams, and sew both sides with a 0.7cm (1/4″) seam allowance.
Fold and press the four box-shaped corners, then position the Lining over the Exterior corners. Insert the Handle ends into the designated corners and sew through all layers with a 0.7cm (1/4″) seam allowance.
Turn the pouch right side out through the Lining opening, close the opening with topstitching, and tuck the Lining inside.
