bag pattern

I could not write this pattern so it made sense. I hope pictures help.

Here goes

Start with a square or rectangle of fabric

Size does not really matter

[ i made yours from fat 1/4s]

fold the top edge over about 1/2" and press

then fold in half with the pressed edge at the top,

sew side seam, do not catch top edge, this will become the casing.

press the seam open

fold the bottom of the bag towards the top about 2" short. 

Press the fold

using the fold as a guide, stitch across bag

turn the bottom of the bag right side out over the lining of the bag

fold the folded edge of the bag over raw edge, pin in place

stitch close to first fold. stitch another row about 1/2" away to form casing.

turn bag right side in, flatten out base and stitch across ears

to form square bottom

turn bag right side out

thread cord or ribbon through casing.

Finished

Hope this helps ladies

give me a call if you get stuck

happy stitching jenni
