Ingredients:
- 1 Zipper - at least 9 inches / 23cm long. I am using a 14 inch zipper in this tutorial. Longer is better, it's much easier to sew when you don't need to worry about getting around the metal parts.
- About 1/2 a fat quarter of fabric - I use 2 different colours, 1/4 of each.
- 1/4 yard of iron-on interfacing. I use a medium weight interfacing; anything heavier would be hard to pull through when turning out.
- Matching thread. I use 'Sulky' embroidery thread as it's nice and strong.
- Sewing machine and zipper foot.
- Pins and sellotape.
Preparing the Pattern:
The pattern for this bag is really simple; all you need is a 22cm by 13cm rectangle. You can make it bigger or smaller to suit you.
Use a 1cm seam allowance, which is included within these dimensions.
Cut your pattern from a piece of scrap paper or tissue paper.
