Diagonal Zip Pouch VIDEO TUTORIAL

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:

Cut the faux leather. You can make it any size you want. For this zip pouch I just cut a rectangle of faux leather measuring 9 x 19″ / 23 x 48cm,

Then cut along one of the diagonals. That’s right you can make two pouches out of the rectangle!

STEP 2:

Fold the cut piece in half, aligning the bottom edge so that a small triangle piece sticks out about 3 inches. Cut that piece.

STEP 3:

Place the faux leather piece with the right side up on your workspace. Place the half zipper (without the zipper pull) under the part that was cut at a diagonal. The zipper should be about 1″ (2.5cm) longer than the leather. Use the clips to hold it in place. Sew using a zipper foot

STEP 4:

Fold the faux leather piece in half again, aligning the bottom edge, fold the top down so the zipper parts meet.

STEP 5:

Insert the zipper pull: cut a small piece of the zipper teeth on one of the sides. Meet the zipper sides and carefully slide in the zipper pull.

Pull it halfway

STEP 6:

Turn the zip pouch inside out and align the edges. Use clips to hold it in place

STEP 7:

Stitch along the side and the bottom of the zip pouch. Clip the corners and cut the excess zipper

STEP 8:

Turn the zip pouch right side out, carefully poking out the corners with a dull tool. Voila The zip pouch is ready
