I used to hate sewing zippers, but I’ve come to love making zipper pouches. They are quick and easy, and they use a small amount of fabric. You can keep them to organize or you can give them away as handmade gifts.
I designed a curved top zipper pouch that can be a simple zipper pouch, or it can be a rainbow or striped zipper pouch. There are the full pieces to create the simple zipper pouch, and there are the smaller pieces to create the stripes or rainbow.
– Curved top zipper pouch pattern – Fat quarter of quilting cotton for the outside – Fat quarter of quilting cotton for the lining
If you are doing the simple zipper pouch: – 2 side pieces – 2 side lining pieces – 2 zipper tabs – 2 side fusible fleece – 2 side fusible interfacing
If you are doing the rainbow side, sew all the pieces together in the order that you want. The easiest way to sew opposing curves is to match the centers. Start in the middle and sew to one side. Start in the middle again and sew to the other side.
