Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 62

I am continuing to add Leaves to the Pocket.

More Orange

If course once I started adding the Leaves I found out that I did not have the correct Colours. Once again, I have to stop to make More Orange Leaves.

Full of Leaves

I have now finished adding the Leaves to cover the Bottom and the Sides of the Pocket. This made it look a little better by covering up some of the bunching. It has also added to the Strength of the Pocket.

Measure Pocket Depth

I had saved some of the Green Material. I have rewashed and pressed it as it had got a little dishevelled during storage. I now need to Measure it against the Pocket. I started with the Depth.

Measure Pocket Width

The reason that I started with the Depth of the Pocket is because I am going to Fold the Material. This will save on me having to do additional Sewing. Once I have the Width I can cut out the required amount. As usual, I have taken into account the need for Hemming.

Double Tack

You cannot tell in the photograph above but one side end of the Material is already Hemmed. I have therefore matched it with the other side. I am now Sewing the Large Hem. I am using a simple Tacking Stitch. I have Tacked one way and I am Doubling Back to make it stronger.
