How to sew a plover-patterned fabric triangle zipper pouch (sewing pattern is not necessary)

Today’s DIY (handmade product) is a plover-patterned fabric triangle zipper pouch (with lining). It is made mostly the same way as a standard zipper pouch except for making a triangle, so it is relatively easy to make.

I recommend putting treats inside the triangle pouch and using it as a gift. After eating the sweets inside, it can be used as a carry pouch. It would also be cute to use it as a pouch for small items such as lip balm or hair accessories.

Materials

Outer fabric is 1 piece of 13cm x 24cm sized fabric. (Seam allowances are included. Attach fusible interlining on the back.)

attach interfacing

Fusible interfacing gives fabric firmness and keeps the shape of the zipper pouch.

Lining fabric is also 1 piece of 13cm x 24cm sized fabric. (Seam allowances are included)

inner fabric

10cm zipper is 1 piece.

Fold both ends of the zip tape, and sew.

Fold the end of zipper so that it doesn’t cover the seam allowances of pouch. It the edge overlap seam allowances, the thickness will increase and be difficult to sew. It will affect the appearance when finished.

How to sew the zipper (install the zipper)

1. Sew the outer fabric and zipper with right side together. (This means the front sides of the fabric are lined up with each other.) Pin the zipper with marking pins no to slip the zipper when you sew.
