Let's get started!!
To make this you will need:
◆ Main panel _Outer layer
① 20½″ × 12⅝″ (52㎝ × 32㎝) Outer layer
① 19¾″ × 11⅞″ (50㎝ × 30㎝) Fusible fleece
◆ Main panel – Lining
② 8¾″ × 12⅝″ (22㎝ × 32㎝) Lining
① 4¾″ × 12⅝″ (12㎝ × 32㎝) Lining
② 8″ × 11⅞″ (20㎝ × 30㎝) Mid-weight woven fusible interfacing
① 4″ × 11⅞″ (10㎝ × 30㎝) Mid-weight woven fusible interfacing
◆ Compartment panel
④ 4¾″ × 4″ (12㎝ × 10㎝) Outer layer
④ 4″ × 3¼″ (10㎝ × 8㎝) Fusible fleece
◆ Handle
② 8″ × 2⅜″ (20㎝ × 6㎝) Outer layer
Cut the fabric and interfacing into the shape of the pattern.
Fold the handle pieces in half, wrong sides together to make a crease. Then fold each edge in toward the middle and press. Stitch along both long edges of the strip, 1/8” from the edge.
Place the handle on the both sides of the outer layer and sew.
Combine the seams so that a flat base is formed. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Place the right sides together of the two compartment panels and sew the top and bottom with an allowance of about 3/8″. Turn them right side out. Topstitch the top and bottom.
Place and sew the compartment panel 4⅜″ in from top of the lining of the main panel.
Combine the seams so that a flat base is formed.
Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew the top with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving an opening. Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening. Press, pin and topstitch around all the edges.
YOU ARE FINISHED!
Happy sewing!
