How to Sew:
1 - On the right side of the fabric piece, make a line 2.5cm (1”) from the short edge. Make another line 1cm (⅜”) from that. Make one line on each side to form a rectangle, 2.5cm (1”) in from the edge.
2 - On the other short side make a line 2.5cm (1”) from the edge and another 11cm (4½”) below that. Make two lines 2.5cm (1”) in from the sides to make a rectangle.
3 - Cut out the rectangular openings
4 - Place the mosquito net under the large opening and topstitch in place close to the edge and about 6mm (¼”) from the edge.
5 - Place the zipper under the small opening and topstitch as described in the step before
6 - Fold the webbing around the D-ring and stitch it together close to the D-ring. Use the zipper foot for this.
7 - Fold the fabric piece wrong sides together. Put the Webbing with the D-ring between the layers and pin in place. Topstitch through all layers close to the edge all around. Reinforce the stitching over the webbing part.
Your zippered pocket is now finished.
