The easiest way to make a zippered bag is by using our pre-sewn zipper.
What You Need:
What You Do:
- Mark and cut out a 9” square of fabric, with a ½” seam allowance on the sides and the
bottom. You don't need to worry about the top seam allowance as it will be magically taken
care of by the pre-sewn zipper.
- Cut out another identical square, and grab your pre-sewn zipper.
- Add your fabric in between the channels of the zipper, and sew along the zipper's fabric
edge, making sure to catch all three layers.
- Machine or hand-sew the zipper closed in the area of the seam allowance.
- Put right sides together and sew along the edge, leaving a little bit of room along the
zipper. Be sure to open the zipper before you sew.
- Once everything is sewn, flip your bag inside out and cut off any excess fabric.
- In the gap we left near the zipper you can add a loop of trim for a handle.
