Techniques for making zippered pocket can be found on the internet, both in the form of blogs and youtube videos. A common technique is sewing upside down. After that the fabric is turned over and sewn into place. Well, you,re not good enough in sewing, this piercing stitch will look uncluttered. What often happens, the fabric along the zipper is folded in several places or the inner fabric is visible.

The way I will show is easier but the process is a bit long. The tutorial is already on the internet but not much. If later you are good at sewing, you should learn to use the usual techniques so that the work is quickly completed. The usual technique is very useful for completing large quantities of orders.

Let's start to learn how to sew zippered pocked, helped by double tape.


Referring to the title, then besides fabric and zippers, all we need is double-sided tape. Use the smallest double tape so that it is suitable to be used to cover one centimeter hem or wider than that.

The steps are as follows:

  1. Stack the inner and outer fabric in the same order.
  2. Mark the zipper location on the bad part of the fabric.
  3. Cut the line of the zipper placemark.
  4. Separate the two fabrics.
  5. Fold the hem inward with the help of an iron.
  6. Stack materials with bad fabric parts facing each other.
  7. Slip the double tape between the inner and outer fabric along the circumference of the zipper hole.
  8. Place the zipper in the prepared hole.
  9. Slip the double tape between the zipper and inner cloth.
  10. Sew around the hole on the good surface of the outer fabric.
  11. Fold the inner fabric to cover the zipper, then trim the meeting of the inner fabric edges.
  12. Sew all the edges of the folded inner cloth together.
  13. Finished.

The process is simpler, right? It's longer because you have to stick double tape but it's not too long. All beginner bag maker can do it.
