1 1½″ × 6″ (4㎝ × 20㎝)
2 Cotton Cord 21¾″ (55㎝)
Fold the strip fabric 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.
Then place the strip on the outer layer and baste with long stitch.
Place the right sides together of the outer and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving 5/8″(1.5㎝) hole on the both sides.
Combine the seams so that a flat base is formed.

The outer and lining are finished.
Place and pin the outer lining of the bag over the top of the inner lining with the right sides together.
Sew carefully and slowly to match the shape of the pattern.
Trim the seam with sharp shears.
Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening.
Then, press, pin and topstitch around top.
Sew up this opening.
Attach a safety pin on one end of string and thread it through the first hole, going all around and coming out in the hole next to it.
Attach a safety pin to your other string and starting on the opposite side, do the same thing.
