(Free) Wide Opening Zipper Pouch and Pinned Boxed Corners - An OKSew Skill Builder

In this Skill Builder tutorial we will be installing a zipper with a long tail to allow for a wide opening pouch, as well as top stitching our lining. I will also show you how to sew your boxed corners so that the lining is sewn into the base of your bag, so that it cannot be pulled up out of the bag or interfere with the zipper. Finally, I will show you how to hand-sew the opening in the lining so you do not get a ridge in the base of your bag. I am demonstrating on the Pythagorean Pouch.
