  • Cut the excess fabric from the satin stitch border of all the design panels you have stitched out
  • Place each of the panels on your background fabric of choice, I used calico fabric as you will not see the background fabric and start by the centre panel “Summer or Winter colour bag_05”
  • Lightly glue each of the panels down to the background fabric

  • You will notice in the photo above there is a slight gap between panel No.0 5 and the No.04 the reason for this is there is usually and also depending on the fabric the stitches pull the fabric I will show you how to cover the gap in instruction No. 6
  • Once you have glued each of the panels down, using your zigzag stitch on your sewing machine stitch each of the panels down to your background fabric

Zigzag stitch all the back panels together the same way as you did for the front panels

I was originally going to make a long handle for this bag, changed my mind, so I had 4 of the “Winter Bag_07” handles left over, so I thought why not use the panels for the pockets on the inside of the lining. I satin stitched each of the panels together then over the top of the satin stitch I stitched a feather stitch
