Floriani “Stitch and Shape” |
|
As the “Stitch and Shape” is not wide enough for the bag cut another piece of the “Stitch and Shape” to cover the front and zigzag the two together as shown in the following photograph |

Cut away any excess fabric and square the bag front |
|
Stitch pockets onto the bag lining |
|
Pin the lining to the bag front (making sure the pocket is facing the right way) guess who finished the bag then realising the pocket was put in up side down. I blame the new born baby Josh; I think my brain is going to mush. Straight stitch along the edges the lining |
|
Do the same as you did with the front panel regarding “Stitch and Shape” for the back panel. Put a thin wadding under the red fabric this softens the back |
|
Pin a contrasting fabric which had been torn into strips along all four sides of the red fabric | |
Using your decorative stitches, stitch a triple zigzag stitch in a black thread all the way around on the contrasting fabric strips |
|

Cut enough fabric for the sides and base of the bag into a long strip |
|
Stitch the side panel and base fabric to a long strip of ‘Stitch and Shape” using a straight stitch to start with |
|
Stitching using straight stitch to the strip of fabric and ‘Stitch and Shape” |
|
Once you have stitched the side panel and base fabric together with “Stitch and Shape” you then, straight stitch once again the lining. On the edges offront, back, side and base panels zigzag in a black coloured thread all sides of the panels after which you then satin stitch all the side panels, this gives a very nice finish, I would recommend you satin stitch twice |
|
The front, back, side and base panels have been satin stitched, ready to put the bag together |

Start out stitching together using your zigzag stitch for the base panel to the front panel, then stitch one side panel to the front panel and then join the back panel to the side panel |
