Sewing a taco pouch with a 2-way zipper | Tutorial

Sewing the Taco Bag: You love my Taco Bag! That's wonderful. And because of that, I have further developed the Taco Bag a little and given it a two-way zipper. It looks sensational and is super practical!

All you need for this is my sewing pattern for the Taco Bag and a continuous zipper with two sliders.

These zippers are really something: Not only do they look sensational, but you can also easily sew over them with the sewing machine.

You probably shouldn't try that with metal zippers. However, the metallic zippers I use are made of nylon and have a metallic finish.

You can order them in Simone's shop on Etsy. Simone has a stunning selection of my favorite zippers^*.

I found the beautiful poppy fabric back then on DaWanda. Floral fabrics are generally great for the Taco Bag because the design can often be used in all directions.

And to make it even easier for you to sew the Taco Bag, I have filmed a sewing video for you! :)

Video: Sewing the Taco Bag with a Two-Way Zipper

Cut off the zipper teeth on one side by approx. 1 cm, but leave the fabric in place.

Then thread the zipper: First on the side where you did not cut off the teeth.

Repeat this step on the other side,

Now close the zipper a little to sew around the corners. You can also watch this carefully again here.

By the way, I found the practical alphabet stamps^* on Amazon. The flower stamps come from idee.creativmarkt.

I always think it's really cute when the motif or theme of the fabric is picked up again in a small patch. I did that, for example, with our Alster Princess Cosmetic Bag as well.

Do you like this pattern?

Don't forget to pin it for later! :)

Happy simple sewing,

your Sabine
