1.) To begin you need to cut out four pieces to your preferred size. Make sure to add seam allowance and be sure your zipper size is adequate. Cut a front, back, and two lining pieces.
2.) Lay the zipper face down on the right size of the front piece. Put the lining piece right side down on top of the zipper and pin. Stitch the zipper on.
3.) Press down the front piece and edge stitch. Repeat this with the back piece: press and edge stitch.
4.) Repeat steps 2-3 with your remaining back piece and lining piece.
5.) Open the zipper. Pin the lining pieces right sides together. Pin the end of the zipper to the lining pieces. Pin front and back pieces together. Sew, but leave a few inches unsewn on the bottom of the lining pieces.
6.) Clip the corners. Turn it right side out. Sew up the opening that you used to turn it right side out with an edge stitch.
7.) Push the lining back inside and you're finished!
