Lay zipper horizontal. Zipper tab should be facing the left.
Lay main fabric piece along zipper tape top edge, right sides are facing each other. Pin. Place into sewing machine and stitch together.
Turn zipper over. Place lining fabric piece on top of zipper tape top edge. Right side is down/facing the back piece. The zipper should be sandwiched between the lining and back fabric pieces. Place into sewing machine and stitch down. Follow previous stitches.
Press seams into place. Be careful to not touch iron to zipper teeth.
Place into sewing machine and topstitch along zipper edge. At the same time, change to a basting stitch. Baste around the non-zipper sides with a 1/8″ seam allowance s. This helps keep the fabric pieces together.
Lay zipper facing right side up. Place vinyl piece on other side of zipper tape. Stitch vinyl to zipper tape. Make sure to stitch as close to zipper teeth as possible, still allowing zipper to open freely.
Fold in half at the zipper. Clear vinyl now lays on top of lining fabric right side. Pin/ use wonder clips along zipper folder edge. Cut zipper ends off. Trim edges of pouch making sure all seams are even. Backstitch zipper ends if it makes you feel better.
Start at one end and place binding at top corner. Leave approximately 1″ tail. Wrap and tuck the tail towards the backside, pin and place into sewing machine. Edgestitch. Before finishing at the other end, wrap and tuck there bias tape into itself again. Backstitch. Quick Tip.. Pesky bias tape falling off the vinyl? Cut really small pieces of wonder tape and stick it under the bias tape. I promise it will hold everything in place.
