Instructions

Preparation

Cut the fabrics according to the instructions.

1. Make the pocket. With the front sides facing each other, place the zipper over the top end (22cm side) of the pocket outer fabric, align the center and sew together. Next, with the front sides facing each other, sew together the pocket lining fabric.

2. Repeat the same process on the other side of the top end.

3. Turn it inside out and baste both side ends.

4. Place the pocket from Step 3 over the body lining fabric as shown. Baste the piece.

5. Fold the body lining fabric in half. Sew both ends up to where it is indicated to stop. Repeat the same process for the body outer fabric.

6. Press the seam open. Make the gusset (5cm). Cut off excess gusset and finish the seam.

7. With the front sides facing each other, sew together the outer and lining bags, leaving 7-8cm unsewn for opening for turning.

8. Make a slit on the curved seam and turn the bag inside out.

9. Close the opening for turning.

10. Make the buttonhole on the front of the outer bag.

11. Attach the button on the inner portion of the back side.
