Seam allowances are 3/8″ unless otherwise specified.
Let's get started!!
To make this you will need:
Main Fabric
1 6″ ×16⅞″ (15㎝ × 42.5㎝) Outer layer
1 6″ × 16⅞″ (15㎝ × 42.5㎝) Lining
1 5⅛″ × 16⅛″ (13㎝ × 40.5㎝) Fusible fleece
Drawstring Cover
1 11⅛″ × 4″ (28㎝ × 10㎝) Outer layer
D Ring Fabric
2 1¼″ × 2″ (3㎝ × 5㎝) Outer layer
1 5/8″(1.5㎝) wide Webbing Strap 10″(25㎝)
2 5/8″(1.5㎝) wide D ring
2 5/8″(1.5㎝) Swivel Snap
1 Cotton string 17¾″(45㎝)
1 Cord Lock
The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.
Cut the interfacing into the shape of the pattern. And fuse the fusible fleece, centered, to the wrong side. Cut by adding 3/8” from the edge of the interfacing.
Fold the main fabric right sides together in half, and sew both sides with a seam allowance of 3/8″, leaving an opening on the lining.
Combine the seams so that a flat base is formed. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Fold the drawstring fabric right sides together in half, and sew side with a seam allowance of 3/8″, leaving 1⅝″ on top.
Fold the fabric in twice and sew.
Fold your tab fabric piece in half with the 2” sides together and press. Fold in half to make your tabs. Place the taps on both sides of the main fabric and sew.
Place the right sides together of the main fabric and drawstring fabric and sew with an allowance of about 1/4″.
Put the outer fabric inside the lining and align the opening. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn out the bag through the hole that we left not stitched. After this, sew up this hole.
Put the lining and top cover inside. Topstitch all the way around of the top of the bag entrance.
Insert the string through one end of the casing, using a safety pin. Tie the ends of the string in a knot and pull the ends to close the bag.
YOU ARE FINISHED!
Happy sewing!
