Finishing

Cut out 2 circles of about 1.5 cm diameter from black felt sheet. I glued 2 half beads on the circles and glued the eyes to the pouch 

Cut out tiny black circles from black felt sheet and glue them to the bottom of the pouch. Alternately you can also embroider the circles, in which case the stitches will be visible on the inner side and may require lining to hide it.

Attaching zipper to pouch

Measure and cut zipper to size. 

Create a stopper at the cut end by placing a stitch across the teeth of the zipper.

You can pin the zipper on one side to the top edge of the pouch to hold it in place.

Sew from one end to the other  

Before sewing the other side, open the zipper, pin the other side to the pouch in place and sew from one end to the other.
