This next group of boxy pouches is nine.  I can use the same color of thread so that makes for quicker construction.  Last night I sewed in the rest of the zippers, pressed them, and topstitched next to the zippers
The next step was to sew the two halves together and pressed the seam open
I was happy with getting this much done on all 9.  The next step will be to stitch down the seams.  I like to do this to keep the seam flat, keep the seam from fraying, and it adds a bit of stiffness and structure to the pouch.  You could use any kind of decorative stitch; I use a staggered zig zag. 
Are you following along and making one for yourself?

I was using a pattern that doesn't have a bottom seam and it is quite a wrestle to get the second half of the zipper sewn. I need to try one with 2 piece and a seam.
