Stitch and Flip Zipper Pouch || Easy & Fun Free Tutorial!
Ойын-сауық
Let's use some SCRAPS! EASY Scrap Stitch and Flip zipper pouch tutorial on Fabric Foundation ~ Use up your scraps with this super easy (and forgiving) method of piecing in this tutorial while you quilt as you go.
Here is a link to zippers: amzn.to/3ooJG0R
You can also search Amazon for "zippers in bulk" to find different sizes and different sellers.
This scrap-busting piecing method is perfect for beginners. It will help you have success without the stress of matching seams.
Here's what I used for this project:
8.5" x 10.5" scrap of foam or batting for the foundation
16" zipper
5.5" x 9" piece of fabric for the bottom
Assorted scrap fabrics
Clips

Super cute! I'd like to try it. I'm thinking I might take advantage of the fusible foam side to fuse one big piece of a busy print on opposite side, to kind of double as a lining while disguising the FPP-like stitches created from the right side of pouch. Hope that makes sense.

They are so pretty. These would be good for keeping your scissors in. With the foam they would protect their tips. You could have a few for rotary cutter and spare blades, small notions, etc. Great also for using up odd pieces of left over foam. Just join them togeher and off you go. Love this idea.

Thank you so much! LOVE this! It would work so well for sharp items! Thank you, Sue!!
I like to use the left over zipper to sew on loops to hang what I'm making, like a pouch or potholder. I also use these loops to put a key ring on or use alone as a place to hook my keys . Super cute when it's just one side of the zipper teeth. Just remove the stop bar and the zipper teeth are free to do what you want. Perfect width for loops. I have a lot of these so I can use different color zipper loops on the same project. Thanks for showing this version of a pouch, how clever
What a great idea to store scraps in those scrapbook paper bins! I never thought of that. Thank you, will be buying some and doing the same.

Here’s a tip: Smaller is not easier! I tried to do a 4” wide zip pouch as my first zipper project. It took far too long (hours). The next one I did, I used an 11” zipper with 9” wide fabric and had a much better experience. It took maybe 5-6 zippers and now I don’t think twice about them. They truly get easier with time!
I’d love this scrappy idea. I’d like lined with zipper tabs too

I think that would work. You could also leave the opening for turning in the side of the lining piece. It may be a bit easier to close up the turning hole then. Hope this helps!
I would like to make a tote bag using this method. Would I need to make the bottom piece wider than 5 inches and mark my lines further from the center line? I want to box the corners so I’m thinking I would need to make the bottom piece larger so it would show more on the front and back.

Thank you! So glad you love this! You could make the bottom any size you'd like, and depending on the size of the boxed corners, you could accommodate them for sure! My goal in this tutorial was to keep it super simple to encourage others to try zippers. You can do so much with this: add a lining, make it bigger, smaller, add boxed corners, add zipper tabs--so much you could do! I love that you are going to modify it!
