How to Make a Curved Top Zipper Pouch

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. 

You can do one or the other, or you can do both like I did! Get the free sewing pattern in this post.

MATERIALS:

Cut out all the pattern pieces. If you are doing the rainbow outside: – 10 striped pieces in different colors – 2 lower striped pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

– 2 side lining pieces – 2 zipper tabs – 2 side fusible fleece – 2 side fusible interfacing

INSTRUCTIONS:

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

INSTRUCTIONS:

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.
