    • @asewinglife

      Not at all. Just position it where you want it and then sew it onto the cushion piece before you sew the edges together.

    The best tutorial of them all. And I've watched a bunch! I made my granddaughters pouches to hold their new gel pens as part of their Christmas gifts. The only thing I did that was different is, I applied interfacing to the outside pieces only. I thought it would be too bulky if applied to both sides. They came out perfectly.

    Best how-to pouch vid I've come across so far.. and I've watched a lot. That you take the time to mention what to directionally do with the zip when sewing up the sides is what most others are missing. I'm still practicing adding zips to pouches and bags but this vid makes it clear in the detail and steps you provide. I made my second one along with you during your vid, pausing the vid to complete the steps, then starting it up again to move on. Thank you!
