The tutorial says to use pinking shears for the edges, inside of the pouch, so your fabric won't fray. I love this method, it's faster than using the zig zag stitch to finish the edges off. I have a 45mm rotary blade that works perfectly for this.
I also added the little pull tabs on the end of the pouch to help pull the zipper open. My son drew everybody a Christmas picture to put inside, and I added my favorite chocolates.
Lots of fun to make!!

PERFECTION!!! Love them!
I love them! They will make nifty gifts. How big are they finished? I think I will make up a bunch to use as gifts.
Very cute! I love to make bags, you can never have too many LOL
Hi! I have been wanting to try making a pouch for a while, but I'm scared of zippers...this doesn't look too bad though. I have a question. The step (7 on her website) that says to sew over the zipper a few times to secure it--how do you avoid breaking the needle going over the teeth of the zipper?
Thanks!
