Before we start please bear in mind that each cricut can be different, what works for my machine may not work for yours. Always run a test before making any projects
Visit my Cricut home page https://design.cricut.com/landing/profile/61885f9fce8cbd26112567e4 and cut out all your parts. The sections in pink are external sections and the pieces in purple are all internal sections.
You will need:
Fabric Cotton for one external section, one internal section and binding
Tab for bottom of zipper 5″ x 4″
If you are using the tag, only use on piece of stabilizer and use light weight low quality for the binding to reduce bulk.
Medium weight fusible stabilizer
Zipper at least 12 inchs long
Start by fusing the Medium weight fusible stabilizer, this stabilizer is like thick cotton with a fusible glue on one side. It isn’t wooly so you can cut it fused to the back of your cotton. I’m going to fuse both sides. The one piece you DON’T fuse is the binding strip. Always Click on the edit screen to see where the cricut is going to cut so you can line up correctly.
Cut all the sections with your cricut. I cut all pieces face up, and secure them a little more with painters tape. Setting Cotton, Bonded. Don’t mirror. Go to edit tools and change to the rotary blade. Pressure setting more. I get my cricut to cut three times.
Pin both sections wrong sides together, quilt stitch them together so they at attached to each other.
Pull the zipper pull off, so you are working with one side of the zip at a time. Place on side of the zipper with teeth facing down and the tape towards the seam, pin and sew in place on the external piece of fabric. Making sure there is overhang of zipper on both sides, DO NOT CUT AWAY YET. Do the same on the other side attaching the zipper into place.
Flip the zipper tape over so the top of the teeth are at the top of your external piece and top stitch down do the same with the other side.
Place the pull back onto the zipper, here is another video that can help you with that. https://youtu.be/Ylmb-ZonYuc
Now you can cut off the zipper excess on both sides
make sure the zip is half way down and open the other in of the pouch. DO NOT PULL ZIPPER OFF COMPLETELY. Turn wrong sides out. sew both sides of the rectangle pieces into place and attach the bias strips hiding raw edges.
This part gets a bit bulky so go slow and stitch down the open boxed corners at the seam. I cut off part of the bulk before adding the binding to hide the seam. The binding is a little bit finicky but its worth it in the end.
Turn the pouch right sides out and you’re done!
