Hello Readers. I made a fun little bag recently. This was really simple to make and the shape was straight-forward. There is a information on this and other projects from the maker La Fabrique des Heart'istes on Instagram.
My fun new bag!
I wanted to use this fabric sample that I had on hand so I did not follow the recommended measurements very closely. The bag still turned out great.
I folded my fabric square in half with the right sides facing each other. I sewed around the outer edge and left a small opening to turn it right-side out. I turned it right side out like this.
I ironed the fabric so that it would be flat and straight.
I gathered the fabric together like this.
I used a small piece of fabric to wrap around the center. It is going to be a sort of handle. The edges of the faux suede are folded in so there are no cut edges showing.
I sewed the "handle" together so that it wrapped around the large piece of fabric.
The bag needed to be sewn together. I stitched the 2 sides together along the edges, where I was pointing. I only sewed the lower half. The top needs to stay open, that is how I will put things in and out of the bag.
I folded the bag so that the seams were in the middle. I had to sew these 2 sides and the bottom seams together.
I was done sewing all the edges together. You can see all the seams.
I flipped the bag right-side out to hide all those seams inside.
When all the seams are inside the bag looks cleaner and the openings at the top make it easy to tuck items inside. The way the fabric is folded, the inside has the same fabric as the outside. It looks nicely lined.
***Year End Update***- These bags are so fun. This was a great project.
