3. Fold the solid fabric piece in half and finger press. Using chalk (and a ruler if desired), mark the center
with a vertical line drawn from the top to bottom.
4. If you are embroidering or embellishing the front of the lingerie pouch, measure the center of each
pocket by folding solid (or contrast) fabric in half and then in half again. Mark w/ chalk your location
for embellishment or embroidery.
5. Embellish item as you desire.

6. With right sides together of the contrast fabric piece 1 and the solid fabric piece 2, attach piece 1 at
side B, D to piece 2 at side B, D (accordingly). Stitch and press open. Repeat process for contrast fabric
piece 2.
7. Reinforce your seam with decorative top stitching on both fabric pieces. (Note: This step may be
skipped if you prefer a different look. Additionally, you could you a decorative stitch or zigzag stitch.)
8. Using a stitch slightly less than a baste stitch (approximately a length of 3), with right sides together,
sew together the top portions of the contrast fabric and the solid fabric.
9. Using the seam made by the joining of pieces 1 and 2, insert both zippers into the middle of the basted
edge using the “centered zipper” technique. (Instructions are often included in your zipper package.)
Stitch three sides of the zipper – both zipper sides and bottom.
13
10. Reinforce seams at edges where zipper is not attached.
11. Using a seam ripper, take out the stitches to expose the zipper. Ensure zippers are functioning
properly and there is ample room in between both zippers.
12. With right sides together, sew remaining sides and bottom edge of the solid and contrast pieces
together with the given seam allowance. Press Open. (Please note: You will want to make a small cut in
top seam near the zipper to ensure a proper corner. Do not cut where you have sewn the side seam –
just the overage on the top seam.
13. Unzip one zipper and pull the pouch through the opening to reveal the right side. Smooth corners and
press flat.
14
14. Using the chalk line created earlier, sew a straight seam down the middle of the pouch to create two
distinct pouches – one for your clean lingerie and one for what needs to be washed.
15. Attach button of your choosing to the outer end of one of the pouches.
15
16. Attach a loop of ribbon or multiple pieces of thread to the outer end of the opposite pouch. This will
serve as your loop by which your button will go through. Ensure proper fit prior to securing.
17. Fasten loop around button and your pouch is complete! Pack your clean lingerie and use accordingly.
Happy Travels!
