If the scribed lines are your fold lines- I GUARANTEE that the pouch is going to be way too small.

You need to consider the thickness of the leather and allow for it when marking your folds. Make the fold lines/cuts outside of the actual width of the piece by the thickness of the leather. 1/8 leather- the fold is 1/8 outside of the actual edge. You LOOK as though you are measuring the leather to actually fold up at the edge of the box.

Take a look at this Video by ian Atkinson about putting in zips.

Mind if I jump in here and ask a question. I didn't see it addressed in the video.

Do you punch the stitch holes through the cloth zipper lining edge(or use the stitching awl to pierce) after gluing it to leather, or do you punch the stitch holes in the leather first and just let the needle be the only thing that pierces the zipper material?

Zip material is pretty sturdy.   I use the awl.
