Instructions:
Mark a 9" by 31" rectangle
on one end of your fabric.
Then position your embroidery
design 7" down from one end. That end will be the top
edge of the bag, so make
sure that the embroidery is
oriented correctly. Sew
out the design.
Then, starting at the top edge,
make marks on each long side
to let you know where the
corners of the bag will be. The first is at 11
1/2",
then at 16 1/2, then at 28".
The 3" that are left over
will be
the flap. |
|
 |
|
Cut out the rectangle, and
then cut a rectangle the same size from the lining fabric. Next, cut out 2
rectangles from each fabric, 6" by
12" (these will be the sides of the
bag). |
|
 |
|
Cut out one large and 2 small
rectangles of the fusible fleece and fuse
them to the back side of the outer fabric. |
|
 |
|
Start at the
designated top of the large
rectangle and sew the long
edge of the large rectangle
around 3 sides of the small
rectangle as shown.
Repeat on the other side
Affix the
loop
side of the hook and loop
fastener 2" from the top of
the bag front. |
|
 |
|
Sew the lining together just
as you did the outer fabric.
Now is a good time to attach
the hook side of the hook and loop fastener
to the right side of the
flap, about 1/2"
from the edge. |
|
 |
|
Insert the
lining into the outer
fabric, with the wrong sides
together.
Baste the
top edges together.
Apply the
bias tape around the
unfinished edges of the bag
and flap with a straight or
decorative stitch.
