First, I put the elastic on the lining and put the fusible rigid interfacing onto the outer fabric.
I cut 2 strips of each lining and outer fabric and sewed them to the edges of the zipper, hiding the raw edges inside the folds. Then I basted the zipper section onto the main section, with raw edges to the outside.
Then trimmed the fabric sandwich down to about 1/4 inch around.
I pinned the bias tape around to cover the raw edges.
I still need to sew it down. But I'm pretty psyched.

Love that fabric. Excellent engnieering there. You and Bezzie need to go into business!
Freaking cool!!! I love it!! Gah, I have to conquer my fear of my sewing machine.
That is so cool! What a neat idea! You are talented.
very cool. and fabuous for just winging it as you went.
Groovy. I like it. So what kind/weight/brandname or something of interfacing is that? Are you happy with its rigidity so far? The colors are wonderful together. I'm thinking that if you wanted to carry more needles in there you could add a section in the center like 2 pages.
