Instructions

The Outside

  • Sew one side of zipper (without zipper pull) between the 16 in. by 10 in. patterned fabric and the 16 in. by 6in. fabric. The 16 in by 10 in. fabric should be edged and placed on the outside of the zipper.

The Inside

  • Attach the 16 in. by 3 in. patterned fabric to the 16 in. by 3 in. plain fabric. With the right sides facing together. Sew along both 16 in. edges to create a tube. Turn right side out. Repeat the 16 in. by 3 in. fabrics and the 16 in. by 4 in. fabrics. Set aside.
  • Edge the 16 in. by 6 in. plain fabric.
  • Edge the 16 in. by 8 in. plain fabric and add on a flattened 16 in. by 3 in. tube so one edge of the tube aligns with the edge of the plain fabric. Repeat step on16 in. by 12 in. plain fabric.
  • Laydown the 16 in. by 16 in. plain fabric and place down the following layers aligning each with the bottom edge of the piece (clean edges and flaps should be facing out):
    16 in. by 12 in. plain fabric with flap
    16 in. by 8 in. plain fabric with flap
    16 in. by 6 in. edged plain fabric
  • Align the 16 in. by 4 in. flattened tube to the top edge of the project.
  • Sew straight lines starting at the top of the project and going down to create the pockets. Do so 4 inches from the side edge, 8 inches from the side edge, and 12 inches from the side edge.

Combining

  • Lay the inside and outside squares face each other.
  • Place the other half of the zipper between the two fabric layers. Along a side edge. This should be parallel to the sewn in half of the zipper and should be 10inches away from the existing zipper.
  • Sew project in a 12 in. by 12 in. square. Leave a small hole to pull the project right side out.
  • Invert project and close the hole with a hidden stitch.
