Easy sewing zipper case

 What you will need

• 2x outer fabric 8” by 10”
• 2x lining fabric 8” by 10”
• Zip 9”
• Zip ends 1” by 1” (you won’t see theses)
• Zip pull 4”

Step 1

Sewing the zip taps on.

Lay your zip facing right side up and place your zip ends at each end of the zip. 

Sew a straight line down both ends. You won’t see The zipper tabs it’s just to stop the bulk at the end. If you want to see you as it types then make your zip shorter

Step 2

Place your outer fabric right side up and your zip right sides down on top.

Then with your zipper foot you need to sew down the side of the zip.

Then place your lining fabric right side up a your zip with your out of fabric attached to it right side down

This the lining 

And this goes on top of your lining.

Sew along the same line you just done, you can make a zip sandwich and just sew it once but I like to see where I am sewing so both sides of the zip look the same. Repeat this step for the other side of the zip. 

Step 3 

 

Iron you work flat and then top stitch down each side of the zip. 

 Step 4

Put the two out of fabrics right sides together and the two lining fabrics right sides together

Make sure you OPEN THE ZIP half way and push the zip towards the lining 

Now pin and sew all the way around the edge leaving a 2 to 3 inch gap in the bottom of the lining

Take your time trimming the edges and corners and making sure it’s all neat and tidy. 

Step 5 

Put your hand through the hole you left in the lining and start pulling your bag right sides out. 

Push all the corners out as best you can and the sew the lining shut

 

Now give it a good press with iron and that’s it your bag is complete.
