There are about as many ways to make a zipper pouch out there as there are sewists, so I thought I'd share my favorite method. Thank you so much to Fairfield World for supporting my creativity by providing me with products to try and compensating me for blogging for them.

My favorite pouches are lined and have some support material (batting or foam). You'll want to choose will depend on how much support you want the sides to have an what you want your quilting to look like. My favorite is using Support Soft Foam Stabilizer, but my husband prefers the batting.
You can also make pouches in just about any size depending on your wants and needs. The photos in this post show two different size pouches with two different support materials. I love the support foam filler because it gives a bit more protective padding to the contents and makes the pouch less floppy, but both will work well.
The small pouch measures approx. 5" by 8 1/4", finished. The large pouch measures approx. 5" by 10" finished with the inner dimensions of each just slightly smaller. You can choose any dimensions you like.
Here's what you'll need to make your own:
