Here is what you will need:
From the Times table cotton print, denim cotton and the batting you will need to
cut the following pieces:
• 2 rectangles 7 ½” x 11” (front and
back)
• 1 rectangle 6 ¾” x 8 ¾” (bottom)
• 2 rectangles 5” x 11 ½” (sides)
• 2 strips 2 ¼” x 11 ½” (zipper panels)
For the handle fabric, you need to cut two extra pieces from the denim cotton
measuring 4” x 12” each.
Other supplies:
• Temporary basting spray 505
• 12” zip
• Cutting mat, rotary cutter and other basin sewing supplies.
Let’s begin:
Start by basting the layers of fabric of the same size together, creating a quilt
sandwich, do this with front and back pieces and the bottom of the bag.
With the zipper panels and the side pieces of fabric only attach the batting the
exterior fabric.
Next, we will tackle the zip…
See photos
Once the zip is attached, press and top stitch in place
Repeat process for attaching the other side of the zip.
Attach the sides
The reverse
Making the handles: Take the two strips and press in half length ways
Fold in half again, and top stitch along each edge
Take you front piece and pin your handle 1 ½” away from the edge of the fabric
Fold the 1 ½” overlap towards the middle and sew this flap in place
Repeat this process for the other handle on the back of the bag, note where the
stitches lay.
Almost there…
We are now going to sew the bag together, to make sure it lines up, make a mark
with a fabric marker showing you where the center of the top piece of the bag is
and center zipper panel.
Make sure you leave the zip open.
Repeat this process for the side of the bag
You can choose to add binding at this stage, to neaten the raw edges, trim the
excess fabric on the corners, so you get a neater finish, when turned the right way
out.
Your all set for school
