Open the zip. Bring the outer
pieces to meet, right sides
together and the lining pieces to
meet, right sides together. Stitch
both pairs along their full bottom
seam, leaving a turning gap of 3-4"
in the lining, then carefully press
the seam allowance open.10
On the outer side, squish
press the pieces together so
that the bottom seam matches the
centre of the zip, and the cut outs on
the sides line up to form squares. Pin
the lining out of the way, and stitch
together along the short seam
(don’t touch the cut outs yet).
(See Pic F, G & H.)11

Step 10 with the lining side.12

handle piece ⅛" from the edge,
starting at the open edge. (See Pic J.)15
Pick up the pouch and thread
the handle through the cut-outs
at the open end of the zip. Press the
cutouts together so that they meet at

1 and 11. Align one end of the handle
with the centre of this seam allowance,
keeping the rest tucked inside the
pouch for now. Stitch together.
