made this for a friends dd, they are 8 and 9, they were a hit! i am going to make more for tween stocking stuffers :)
pattern pieces/notions required
outer piece - 9" X 6", cut 2 pieces
zipper tab - 3" x 2", cut 2 pieces
handle - 11.5" X 4", cut 1 piece
**interfacing for handle - 11.5" x 1.5"
7" zipper
** i made this with no lining, also i didnt need interfacing because this was medium weight canvas.
1. cut all the pattern pieces and lay them out.

3.take one of the zipper tab, place the zipper teeth side down on the the tab about 0.5" from the edge and centre it. dont worry about the extra fabric. on the sides.

8. i forgot to take pics on how to do the handles, but first i iron the piece into half, so i have 11.5" X 2" piece. then i fold it again into half and iron so i have a 11.5" x 1" strip. then i place it on the right side of the pouch, about 1" down from the zipper.

9. make sure the zipper is open before proceeding to this step, with the handle sandwiched between the 2 outer piece, i serge it all around to close the pouch.
