How I Made This Case or Pouch

This is a wonderful pattern to work with.  It is a one piece pattern.  However, you will have to be careful with directional fabrics going in one direction, as I learned while making this case.  All in all, it is a good pattern for regular fabrics.

Place the pattern on the fabric and pin; and cut out accordingly.  Then mark out the dots with either a fabric marker or chalk or like the old fashioned way I use by hand basting  to mark. 

At the top edge of the pattern, place the right side of the zipper on the right side of the fabric and pin or baste.  With the zipper foot, sew a 1/4 inch seam along the zipper.

Fold the fabric towards the top edge right sides together and repeat sewing the otherside of the  zipper.

Take the piece of the lining  with the right side and place it to the sewn fabric and zipper and repeat as done with the fabric.  Press accordingly. Open the zipper.

Stitch side seams at 1/4 inch of the outer fabric and of the lining on the wrong sides.  Leave at least 3 inches opening for turning inside out.

Take the basted areas of the case and match the basted dots making diagonally corners and stitch along basted area.  Repeat on each corner.  Press accordingly.

Turn the case right sides out and press.  Close up the 3 inch space by stitching close to the edge with about 1/8 seam.

Push the lining back inside the case and zip it up.  Press
