Small All-Purpose Bag

I am taking a class of patchwork and quilting with Thai teacher online. It is fun and joyful. I found my teacher on Thai web blog. She is so nice and generous. The bag we are making can carry our wallet and mobile phone. Let´s learn together with me here.

Step 1, start with making the pattern.

- Cut the paper with the size of 18 x 30 cm. and another one is 9 x 9.5 cm.


Step 2, Cut the fabrics.

- Select the fabric of your choice, but it is better cotton because this work we will quilt by hands!
- Cut the fabrics for outside part with 2 cm larger than the pattern.
- Cut the fabrics for lining with 1 cm larger than the outside fabric.
- Cut the polyester with the same size of the lining fabrics.



Step 3, Quiting

- Let´s quilt as you like


Step 4, Lockstitch

- Cut the work to the same size of the pattern.
- And let´s stitch the edges as shown in the picture.


Step 6, Make a small fabric inside our bag

- Cut the fabric with the size of 14x20 cm
- Fold half in the length
- Sticth it and attach in the inner part of our bag


Step 7, Assemble the bag
- Find the middle point
- Pin both of the side part with the middle point
- Stitch all together
- Lockstitch





Step 8, Put the zipper and finish!




It´s ready to use now...enjoy!
