Hello ladies!
So today, because i am all packed up to move, and i had nothing else to do...I made a bag for a lady at work. Her and I always talk fabric, sewing, projects etc. so i promised her before i finish work on friday i would make her a little bag!
This is a bag which i only recently started making, it has no visible seams or stitching, so it looks very professional and makes a prefect gift! You really cant go wrong with this bag!
I thought i'd record the process i go through, to share with you all and for my own personal reference!
So here we go...
What you'll need:

So here we go...
What you'll need:
Scissors
A zip of your preffered length
Pins
Measuring Tape
Tracing paper (i use greasproof paper!)
Tread
Sewing machine or a good old sewing needle.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Once you sew these in a straight line, if you turn the outer fabric right side up, the zip will be neatly attached with no visible seam or stitching.
Repeat this for the other side of the zip so that you end up with something like this...
Step 6
You need to open the zip before doing this, so it can be turned inside out without any problems!
You need to stich all three straight edges of both fabrics, making sure the zip is included in the stitching, joining it all together.
It should look something like this...(dont stitch the little cut out corner bits, only the three straight edges!)
Step 8
(hard to explain but the pictures show it clearly!)
Pin this edge, and stitch right across it. After this, press the corners in the correst position, this will create the boxy bag shape we are aiming for, and allow it to have a square base to stand on!
Step 9
Once all corners are done in this way, you should have this hollow bag shape. The next thing is to find the hole you left in the lining and slowly turn the whole bag inside out, through this hole. Then find the zip and arrange the bag to sit how it looks below...
If you made it to this stage...thanks for reading!! :)
This is brilliant! What a great idea. Thanks for the instructions love! x
ReplyDeleteI love these bags you make & I know I've said it before, but I really wish I was clever enough to do these types of things! But I'm afraid, even with (very clear) step-by-step instructions, I'm a hopeless case! I'm sure other people will be inspired by this to give it a go though :)
