4″(10㎝) Metal Internal Flex Frame
The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.
Fold both ends 1cm and fold in half in the long direction to form a sleeve.
Place the sleeve on top the outer layer and baste with long stitch 1/8 inch from the top.
Pin the Gusset to the Main Panel, pinning first at the center. Then pin the ends in place.
Continue to pin along only the straight edges of the Main Panel, there is no fiddling for these points.
With sharp scissors make small snips on the gusset at the round shape of the main panel.
The small snips will help the curved edge of the pouch.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn right side out. Outer panel is ready.
Fold the lining darts and sew.
Place the right sides together of the lining and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving a 2-inch opening.
Place and pin the outer panel over the top of the inner panel with the right sides together.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn out our snap bag through the opening that we left not stitched.
After this, sew up this opening.
Put the lining inside the outer fabric and organize it.
Topstitch around all the edges.
Now take the frame and pull it through the sleeve. You will have one side closed and one open.
On the open side – close the frame and insert the tiny pin.
Attach the strap.
YOU ARE FINISHED!
Happy sewing!
