These bags are very easy to make.
First determine the size bag you want (width and depth). For example, 6" x 9". Then multiply the depth by 2 (i.e., 6" x 18").
Add 1-1/4" to each of these dimensions. (i.e., 6-1/4" x 19-1/4").
For this size example, cut one piece of fabric 6-1/4" wide x 19-1/4".
Fold the strip of fabric in half (6-1/4" x aprx. 9.625") with the outside of the fabric towards in inner side.
Next step: sew in your zipper with the zipper pull facing the outside of the fabric. (Make a very short seam (about 1/4" long) on each end. Sew the zipper into the space between the two short seams. If your zipper is longer than the bag, that is okay -- possibly even preferable.
OPEN the zipper enough to be able to put your hand through to the inside (the outer fabric). Then sew down each side.
When sewn, pull the bag out through the zipper so it is right side out.
[Sorry, maybe next time I will take photos through the whole process and write it up properly.]
