Step by Step

1

Trim your fabric and felt to approximately double the side you would like your bag. My finished bag measures 18x12cm and my fabric measured 20 x 26cm.

2

Pin the felt to the reverse of the fabric.

3

Use a chalk pencil to mark along each edge of the fabric at 5cm intervals.

4 Use your sewing machine to stitch diagonal lines between these marks to make a quilting effect with the felt. Once done trim the threads neatly. (the blue bag has simple straight lines of quilting).

11 Making sure the zip is at least half open, fold the bag flat with the right sides together, positioning the zip either in the centre or near to one side like the striped bag. Pin to secure. Stitch straight across the zip on both sides making sure the zip pull is within the bag area itself.

I adore crafts of all types but scrapbooking is my first love. It satisfies my daily need for a creative outlet, and complements my love of photography perfectly!
