Great idea, poor instructions
I used up fabric scraps bought as a prospective quilting project, so my outer pieces are different colours. This was made for keeping my sewing clips in, and it works beautifully but could have done with another tab on the other side to help close the zip.
Step 3 into 4 should tell you to sew the zip inside a sandwich of the inner and outer (zip teeth facing the outer fabric). These instructions are hopeless for beginner or novice sewers like me, I was completely lost and had to revert to a YouTube tutorial on another channel to figure out what to do. There's also no instructions in how to handle the zip in the final sew through. I folded and sewed with hope that I'd done the right thing. I did, but don't ask me what I did! It probably doesn't matter, but I don't know and these instructions didn't help.
