+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* Strong outer fabric, such as canvas or cordura;
+* lightweight but abrasion resistant lining fabric, such as cotton print
+  or ripstop nylon;
+* optional: mesh.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Sewing thread (cotton for cotton, polyester for syntetics);
+* stabilizing foam;
+* zipper and slider (by the meter is easier to work with);
+* edge binding tape;
+* optional: webbing;
+* optional: elastic edge binding tape;
+* optional: cord.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Draw a rectangle as big as you want the finished pouch to be, with
+rounded corners, measure its perimeter P.
+
+Measure the side that you want to keep closed, minus 6 cm, let it be B.
+
+The length of the zipper will be P - B plus 1 cm.
+
+Cut the following parts:
+
+* the basic rectangle plus 1 cm sewing allowance on all sides in fabric,
+  lining and stabilizer;
+* a rectangle as wide as B and as high as the depth of the finished
+  pouch, plus 1 cm sewing allowance on all sides in fabric and lining;
+* a rectangle as wide as the length of the zipper and 1.5 cm shorter
+  than the depth of the finished pouch, in fabric and lining;
+* two squares of lining 5×5 cm.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+
+Apply any accessory or decoration to the main fabric bases.
+
+Prepare any internal accessory and apply it to the lining and stabilizer
+bases, treated as one.
+
+Zippered pocket
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Cut a rectangle of mesh (or lining fabric) as big as the base.
+
+Sew a zipper on top of the rectangle.
+
+Carefully cut the mesh / fabric below the zipper and fold it back
+towards the fabric; sew 2 mm from the previous seam to keep it in place.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   If the fabric you're using frays, cover the raw edge with tape.
+
+Place the mesh on top of the lining on top of the stabilizer, and sew
+all around the edges with a 5 mm allowance.
+
+Elastic bound pocket
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
