1. Cut round one of the pockets, leaving at least one inch of plain fabric all the way around the pocket. Follow the shape of the pocket.
2. Put this pocket face down on top of the other pocket and, using it as a template, cut round.
3. Fold the lining fabric in two, right sides facing, and, again using one pocket as a template, cut the lining to match.
4. Use your zipper foot to sew one side of the zip to one pocket piece along the top.
5. Put the matching lining piece on top of the pocket, right sides together with the zip sandwiched between the two pieces. Again, sew the zipper to the fabrics.
6. Repeat with the other side of the bag.
7. Top stitch along the zip, keeping as close to the edge of the fabric as possible.
8. Open the zip.
9. Open out the pieces and put them right sides facing so that the linings match and the pockets also match.
10. Sew all the way round the outside edge, just leaving a small section at the base of the lining open for turning.
11. Turn the bag the right way out and sew up the seam you left open on the lining.
12. Push the lining inside the bag. Your pocket purse is finished.
