1. 

   

   First, you take one piece of fabric you like for the outside.
   ( I glued a piece interlining on it, so the fabric would be stronger)

2. 

   

   Then you take a piece of interlining and draw a rectangle on it that is a little bit shorter than the zipper.
   (Like the light lines)
   And in the middle of the square another line and on the sides a triangle
   (Like the darker lines)
   
   (This is not a new zipper I bought, but I cut it out of an old sportbag)




3. 

   

   You take a piece of another fabric you want to use for the inside of the zipper-bag.
   and stitch it with the piece of interlining like this
   !Only stitch the purple rectangle!
   <
   Make sure the piece of fabric is not in the middle of the fabric of the zipper-bag (below)

   This will become the zipper-bag.
   And the black fabric is going to be the big messengerbag.




5. 

   

   Now you cut the black lines and fold and pin the sides like this.
   
   

6. 

   

   Then you sew a rectangle, so it will look like this
   <<<

7. 

   

   Sew the zipper in a rectangle on the fabric.

8. 

   

   Then sew your other piece of fabric(dots) for the bag on the other piece(dots).
   !Don't attach it to the black fabric!

9. 

   

   Tah-daah!
   Your zipper-in-a-bag is finished!
