Fabric choices for the Bellevue Pouch.

Fabric all cut out and ready to be sewn together.

Here I am basting the exterior fabric to the foam.  It will make the exterior fabric nice and firm and allow it to stand up and keep it’s nice shape.

I first had to cut down the zipper to the correct size.  I always buy my zippers at sizes 18-22 so that they will work for pretty much any project that I do.

Then using my wonder clips, I attached the zipper and sewed it in place.

This is what the zipper looks like in place before I sew up all the sides.  I also added in some top stitching on both by the zipper.

Here I am closing up the inside lining after I have sewn up the sides/bottom and flipped the bag right side out.

My finished bag.
