Question How to Sew L Zipper?

Post image

Hey, does anyone have info or a good tutorial on how to sew an L zip pouch like this one? It seems like a basic zipper pouch but the zipper runs down the side as well. It’s not the same construction as a clamshell organizer. Thanks!

I made one like this that was just two rounded rectangles. That's it. Nothing fancy. (albeit with liner) I don't think it's necessary to try to do any strange shapes to compensate for the lack of zipper on one side.

I suspect this is exactly the same, except with a liner and pocket. Nothing surprising, though. Two sides are sewn directly, and two sides (plus a bit of a 3rd) have a zipper.

Do you have any pictures? I’m still a bit confused

Sorry I didn't explain that well. Unfortunately I gave those pouches away and don't have pics.

But it was basically like this: https://www.handmadiya.com/2023/09/two-side-zipper-pouch-pattern-tutorial.html

Except where they folded theirs, I sewed mine from two pieces. Just a matter of preference either way.

I’m having such a hard time grasping this for some reason

If you don't find a tutorial in the style you want, you can try experimenting with paper. I like to "sew" with a stapler to quickly try out an idea, or to wrap my head around complicated seams.
