Step 12Sew passport and card pockets to main body
a. Lay the pouch open, inside facing up on your work surface.
b. Place the sheet of pockets on top of the right side, aligning the bottom seam of the bottom pocket so it's just above the bottom seam of the main body where the sheet metal is stitched in. Center horizontally and tape into place.
c. Sew a 'U' closely around the outside perimeter of the sheet metal. Start the seam where the top of the passport pocket meets the main body and go around from there. Be sure to back-tack a few times to reinforce the top edges of the pocket. Go slow. It could be helpful before you sew to burnish the edge with your thumbnail to provide a visual guide. Going slow will allow the zipper foot to do its job and keep the needle from running into the sheet metal. Do not trim any excess.
