Oh What a Busy Sewing Bee I Am – 2018 Part 4

All the Straps have been sewn so I can move onto the next part.

Turning the Straps

Slowly begin to invert a Strap and push through. As the Straps are quite long use something like a bamboo chopstick or a knitting needle to help

Strap Fully Turned

Once you have fully turned one of the Straps continue the process and turn the remaining three Straps.

Turning the Bag

By turning all the Straps the correct way you will also see that the Bag is now also turned.

Matching the Material

The next part is to match both patterns of the material right side together so each you can make the Bag section.

Pinning the Bag

I have pinned the sides of the Bag together ready for sewing. I sewed both sides down to the Bottom.

10 cm Gap

 

At the Bottom of the material leave a 10 cm gap. I found that if you fold the Bag you get the exact centre. Mark the centre then pin 5 cm each side of the mark. This will give you a 10 cm gap in the middle of the Bottom section.

Sew the Bottom part to pins. Repeat with the other patterned material only this time there is no need to leave a gap. When sewing at the Bottom sew directly across.
