Sewing up some project bags
Inspired by L's lovely project bag (and by inspired by I mean directly copied from) I decided to make a few of my own. You can never have enough bags to hold your knitting projects on the go!
After rifling through the fabric collection I cut a paper template; I drew a rectangle in the size of the desired finished bag & then added 3 cm for a fold at the bag opening and 1 cm seam allowance all around. I folded the fabric, placed the paper template flush with the fold and cut the fabric to size. Each bag is made from 2 pieces of fabric; the outer & lining.
Turning the right side of the fabric to the inside, I seamed the 2 edges of the fabric rectangle together to make a tube shape; I then seamed the bottom closed, as shown below;
I did the same to the lining fabric, before placing it inside the outer piece. Then I cut & pinned the top edges together to make a 3 cm fold that would allow me to use a draw-string closure;![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUdg-FjFDnXRcL3bKIDuHVLn7lhU_ktZ1eVct3GWnxwzDKbqQ2N3Xg7gWzDokuuygj9NuwNZtgqxzXprOqe05A3EbiFkRS2NbYkPZEeAAzi9STEYx4j3l57yyTAqtNli0op6ETDH3EfKU/s200/P5210489.JPG)
It was easier to sew this fold with the bag turned inside-out!
Lovely!
