The outer edge of the welt should align with the right side of the front side. Stitch the welt. Cut the pocket opening in the middle between the marking lines, making diagonal cuts towards the pocket marking corners. Turn the welt to the wrong side. Press the seam allowances open. Place the zipper under the pocket opening. From the right side of the front, stitch the zipper 0.1cm from the pocket opening. Stitch the small pocket bag to the lower zipper tape and turn down.
