Make A Bag
Make a bag pattern or purchase one from Simplicity or McCall's, etc… I will be showing you how to use Simplicity 4117 to make Bag D in this short video.
1ST Pre Shrink Your Fabric by Washing
Use pattern piece 3 for your shoulder bag.
First cut out your pattern and lay it down printed side up on your fabric. Your fabric should be cut on single thickness for the bag and the lining, with printed side up. You will follow the same layout for all three pieces.
1. Bag
2. Lining
3. Interfacing
Sewing Directions Made Easy
1. Wash and Iron your fabric. Cut out your pattern piece and make all your markings.
2. Apply your light weight interfacing to the wrong side of your bag. You can iron this on usually but follow the manufactures directions.
The pattern calls for appliqué fabric which I will not be demonstrating in this video, please refer to your pattern directions.
3. With the right sides together you will sew up the side of your bag and the lower edges of your bag.
4. You will take and do the same for the lining but leave a small opening on the bottom.
This will be for turning your bag once we are ready.
You're doing great.
5. Place the right side of the lining and the bag together matching seams and having raw edges together.
Stitch the upper edges of the handles as shown in the video and clip curves and trim seam and corners.
6. Turn your bag right side out through your opening in the lining. Slip stitch this close and push lining in the bag.
