I agree that enclosing raw edges makes for a nicer finish. I generally do the outside pull through the inside lining opening and then do a final close on the lining which keeps the bulk down. Great demo.

Your camera is not in the right place when you’re sewing. I can’t see anything except the machine. No action. Just thought you might not realize it. Your instructions are very clear. Thank you so much.

I'm using upholstery fabric for exterior and silk interior. Must I use fusible fleece?

No need
I may be having a blank moment, but how did you fully open the zipper since the pull was in the middle with the zipper closed on both sides of the pull? ?
@SewVeryCrafty

I used a continuous zipper so when you pull the zipper one way it will continue to close and when you pull it the other way it will open fully.
Does it matter what zipper you use? My zipper adds a lot of bulk on the ends when turning it.

no, the zipper should not matter.
Why would you wait until the end to discusss the fleece choice???

I do thee without a script so I Robby just thought of it.
So if I want it to be a 7x4 what would be the cutting size?

Add 3/8" to the measurements of each piece to accommodate the French seam and the zipper and that should get you what you want think.
Do you have to use fusible fleece

No. You cause any interfacing to give it structure or northing if you want.
Love the fabric where did you purchase it?

According to my version that is correct. See the blog post sewverycrafty.com/how-to-make-a-simple-zipper-pouch/
