Canterbury Zipper Pouch sewing pattern in 2 sizes with video
I’ve been wanting to make this style of flat zipper pouch for such a long time, but it’s taken me a while to get this sewing pattern just right. The first time I tried to create what I had in my mind, it was so complicated to sew and so fiddly, that I almost gave up. But after several revisions and a different construction method, I eventually made it a lot easier to sew and I think you will enjoy it.
I admit to being a bit of a neat-freak. I love order and symmetry so the look of this neat pouch appeals to that side of me. It’s flat, (almost) square, even, neat and orderly. The neat trimming bands on the zipper echo the narrow binding around the edges. Once I’d made all my construction revisions, it was actually much faster to sew than I thought too.
