 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 12

In order to stop the Bag from Stretching when things are put into it I am going to have to Line it.

Pin Strap Material

 

I had some Green Material left over from a previous project. My first problem is that I have not yet finished Knitting the Strap. This is because I decided to add the Buckle. So I am going to have to only measure part of it.

Pinning the Strap was a nightmare. I had to do it several times before it was right. I needed to get the Bottom of the Strap correct as that would be the Template for the top.

Cut out Strap

 

I finally managed to Pin it reasonably straight. I have let enough Material at the side to form a Hem. I am not bothered too much about the Length as I will be doing the Strap in more than one piece.

Measure Material

 

Time to measure the Material for the Bag. I have Folded the Material in half so I will only need to Sew up the Sides. I don’t need to Pin it as it is reasonably flat and stays in shape.

Pin and Cut Bag

 

I haven’t Pinned the Bag but I decided to Pin the Material so it doesn’t move around too much when Cutting. I have moved in a little when Cutting the Top Layer of the Material.

This is so I get as much Excess as possible for the Second Strap. Careful as I was I still managed to slip a little when Cutting.

Offcut for Strap

 

The Offcut with a little luck should cover a majority of the Second Strap. Now I need to wash and Press the Material.
