Zippered Pocket Instructions - Add a zippered pocket to your handbag pattern.


Want an easy way to install a zippered pocket in the purse you are making? Here are instructions for adding that zippered pocket to keep all your smaller items secure inside your new handcrafted purse. If you would like a purse pattern, visit our handbag pattern  page. Do you want a handcrafted purse all ready to go? Check out our Handcrafted Handbags.
This simple pattern makes an easy unlined zippered pocket.

Zippered pockets and have always given me fits and I felt the verbage was hard to follow in regular purse patterns. The results of experimenting are listed below in detailed instructions. Also, if you want your zippered pocket lined, that feature is also included as a "tip". I will be adding more "how to's" in the future and will also be adding my own designs for purse patterns specifically for novice/beginners, complete with handles.

TIP: For more stability in your zippered pocket, double the fabric (i.e. instead of cutting one piece 9" x 18" cut 2 and sew them together.

TIP: If you want a lining for your zippered pocket, cut an additional piece of fabric and sew them RIGHT SIDES together. Leave a small opening at the bottom (1") and turn your fabric so that is right side out. Finish sewing the small opening that you left and continue with the instructions.

TIP: I know what your Mother told you but, in sewing projects, your iron is your friend - use it often to press seams and fabrics after you turn them right side out.
