All you need is fabric for the outside, some batting, lining fabric, one 12" zipper, coordinating thread and your usual sewing supplies. To hold the fabric and zipper layers together you can use pins or a fabric glue stick. I prefer to use the Lapel Stick. Buy it here (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/KebP0P

Materials list:
2 fabric pieces measuring 14" x 15"
1 piece of batting measuring ~15" x 16"
One 12" long zipper (with nylon teeth)
Lapel Stick (optional) or pins
coordinating thread
sewing machine with zipper foot attachment
rotary cutter + mat/ scissors
