Rectangle Size 9 1/12 x 5 1/12 inches 

7 inch zipper 

Thread

1.  Cut out 2 pieces of fabric to a rectangle shape of measurements 9 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.

2.  Zigzag around the edges, either folded down about 1/4 inch or you can use the serger stitch without folding down a 1/4 inch.  This helps against fraying and raveling.

3.  Prepare the zipper to the top edges.  Fold down about 1/4 inch and pin and stitch zipper on both sides. 

4.  Prepare design of your choice from the various designer stitches on your sewing machine.   Stitch along the approximately mid section of the pouch or your desired placing. 

5.  With right sides together, pin and stitch around the entire edges at 1/2 inch seam.

6.  At the bottom of each corner, measure about a inch in size and stitch straight across.  This can be optional.  Doesn't necessary have to be done.

7.  Turn inside out and press. 

This project's fabric was made from recycling a pair of denim jeans.   The design on it was done with a Singer Sewing Machine "Number 07 Stitch".

The idea of this project came from while reading through a book called "Teach Yourself Visually Sewing" by Debbie Colgrove, page 228 "Small Pouch With A Zipper" Chapter 14 "More Sewing Projects".
