Zippered pouches don't have to be scary!
One of my favourite things to sew is a pencil case or zippered pouch.
This simple pouch could be used for so many things and makes a perfect present for just about anyone filled with things they love! I have made them for friends who started teaching filled with pens and coffee bags. My daughter has given them to friends as birthday presents. My son has a special one for taking toy cars to Grandma's house. They are so simple but so useful!

Step 2
Pin the zipper to the pinked edge of the fabric on the right side. Your zipper pull should be against the fabric so it is right side down.
Using the zipper foot on your sewing machine, sew carefully long the edge. Start at the end without the zipper pull.
Half way along, stop with the needle down in the fabric and lift the presser foot. Carefully open the zipper so that the zipper pull is now past your foot and out of the way.
Continue sewing the rest of the zipper in place.

Step 3
Pin the second piece of fabric to the other side of the zipper, again with the right side of the fabric against the right side of the zipper. You will kind of fold the zipper up away from the first rectangle to do this.
Sew the zipper into place, again stopping half way to move the zipper pull past the machine foot.
