Making a fabric bag
-
Cut 2 pieces from each fabric, you need 4 pieces in total.
-
Place the fabrics with right sides facing each other and sew along the side. Once sewn, open up the pieces and place them with the right sides facing again. Sew around the entire edge except for the top.
-
Repeat the same process with the other pieces.
-
Next, sew the straps, so place them half a centimetre from the seams on the right side of the piece. Sew them to the edge to attach them.
-
Insert one of the pieces inside the other, with the right sides facing each other. Sew around the entire top edge, leaving a few centimetres open to turn the bag inside out.
-
Turn the bag right side out and iron it so that it is nice and smooth.
-
Finally, sew a running stitch around the edge to close the opening.
