Please refer to the full tutorial HERE forstep-by-step instructions and pictures. For the

contrast bottom style pouches, simply cut two pieces of each measurement listed in thechart by the width of the pouch, and sew together using a 1/2" seam allowance. So forthe medium size pouch you'll cut two pieces 4.5" tall by 12" wide and two pieces 5.5"

tall by 12" wide, thus making the exterior pieces.

a little case to keep seeds in|Main|time management skills

shoulder bag tutorial

Here's a rough pattern and guide for making a shoulder bag likeone of these, as

promised. These are really easy to make, and I always have so much fun choosingfabrics and buttons for them. I have to warn you however that i'm not very good atexplaining things in words, so I hope you can understand my general meaning in thesedirections! Please email me if you need further instruction, and I'll be happy to help! Icouldn't work out how to do a PDF file so this is a very basic and d-i-y version of a

pattern! As you can see, I've drawn a tiny, rough and very much NOT-to-scale outlineof the pattern which you will need to draw to the proper measurements yourself onsome tracing paper or a piece of newspaper. It doesn't matter if it's not quite right, aslong as it's symmetrical. The entire length of the pattern is 28 inches. This will make a

bag that's a good size for your wallet, keys and a few books, but it's easy to make it a bitdeeper or the strap a bit longer, if you wish. Just add a couple of extra inches. Umm,

and that measurement on the strap should say 18". Sorry about that.

Once you've drawn and cut out your pattern, cut two from your chosen bag fabric, andtwo from your lining fabric. I usually use recycled fabrics- old curtains, blankets,vintage bits and pieces... but you could use anything that takes your fancy. Somethingfairly sturdy for the outside works best though. After cutting these out, I also cut a

pocket for the inside, I use some of the outer fabric for this, cut into a rectangle about 8"

X 6.5". Then I cut a strip measuring 5" X 1.5" to make a loop with which to fasten thebag to a button, if you choose to use this method. You could also make two ties tofasten, or use velcro or a snap fastener.

1. Start with your outer bag pieces. Place right sides together, and sew the seams at eachedge, between the *s on the pattern, like this:

2. Then open out the piece so that the seams are at the front and back of the bag. Sewalong the bottom seam.

18/128

5. Overlock or zig-zag the top edge of your pocket. Press the edge down about half aninch, and top-stitch. Then press your pocket half an inch all around. Pin to the outside ofthe lining where you would like it, and stitch it down.

6. Make your loop for the button. Press in both edges of the strip towards the centre,then fold in half and press again. Sew the edges together (this is just like a bias strip.)

19/128

7. Now sew the lining and outer pieces together. Place one inside the other, right sidestogether. Match centre seams, and pin. Insert your loop between the two layers on oneside of the bag, so the ends of the loop are sticking out, and pin it securely.

8. Sew about 1/4" from the edge, all along both sides of the bag, right up to the topedges.

20/128

9. Now clip like mad around the curved edges, nearly to the seam.

10. Turn the bag right-way-out through the gap in the lining. Now press all around theedges of the bag where you have sewn, so that both layers 'sit' nicely. Trim the tops ofthe straps so they're even and of equal length.

21/128

11. Sew the top of the strap together- at just the outer pieces. Place right sides together,and sew a 1/4" seam. (This is a bit fiddly under the machine, but it's okay.) Press down.Then tuck in the lining pieces at this point and hand-stitch it closed.

9. Press the strap again and if you are happy with everything, top-stitch a 1/4" seam allaround the edges of the bag. Hand-sew the gap in the lining closed. And hand-sew a big

button on the front of the bag, in such a position so the loop will fit nicely around it.

10. Ta Da! Enjoy your new bag! I'm off to eat this chocolate.

p.s. please email me a picture if you try this out because I'd love to see it! Also, this ismy first time doing instructions like these, so please let me know if I need to makecorrections. Thanks!

This is the new bag I made to take back to work this term. It took less than an hour from

choosing the fabric to dumping my junk in it. In fact this tutorial took waaaayyy longer than the

bag ! (the colours are great in real life but the orange doesn't photograph very well - sorry )

This pattern is on a piece of A4 paper so I'm sure you can work it out from that. It needs to be

placed in the fold of your fabric as marked.


24/128

You will need:

Using the pattern piece and cutting on the fold of your fabrics.

2 pieces in your handbag fabric

2 pieces in your lining fabric

2 pieces in wadding or batting to give your bag a bit of body.

1 magnetic purse snap (optional)

2 x 6 1/2 inch squares of fabric for the pocket (optional).

2 strips of fabric 3 inches x approx 29 inches for the strap

1 strip of wadding about 2 1/2 inches by 29

2 large Buttons

Start with the pocket. Place your squares right sides together and sew around 1/4 in ch in from

the edge. Leave a gap for turning (maybe 3 inches). Snip off the corners being careful not to

cut your stitching.

Turn right sides out through the gap. . You might like to iron it. I like to do one line of stitchingacross what will be the top of the pocket but that is just for looks.


25/128

Pin your pocket to the right side of one of your bag linings. Sew around the sides and bottom

of your pocket being sure to catch the gap you had for turning in your stitching.

I like to do two lines - looks good and adds a bit of strength too.


26/128

Now put your other lining piece right sides together with the pocketed one and sew around

the bag, again leaving a turning gap at the bottom.

Take your bag fabric pieces and affix your wadding or batting to the wrong side of each piece

(if it is fuseable). You need to sew all these four pieces at the same time. Your fabrics need to

be right side together with the wadding on the outer of each. (check out the pic above if it

doesn't make sense) Pinning might help stop these from moving too much.


27/128

Sew around the sides and base of the bag with a 1/4 inch seam. You may want to clip the

corners , this will help your curves be nice and smooth and curvacious. Turn the bag right side

out.

Now with the bag right side out- slip it into your lining. (This means you will have the right

sides of your lining where the pocket is, against the right sides of the bag.)


28/128

Sew around the top opening of the bag.

Turn it all right side out through the gap

in the bottom of the lining. Then tuck the lining inside the bag, smoothing it as you go. Pin

around the top and topstitch.


29/128

This is when I like to add magnetic

snaps. Putting your hand inside the bag through the lining gap you can poke your snaps

through and affix them. Some people like to put a little circle of cardboard on the inside but

just use a scrap of wadding or wadding reinforced with some interfacing.

Then that is it for the bag , you can hand sew or machine sew the gap in the lining closed.

The strap is super easy- Just place your pieces right sides together and sew along the length of

the strip on both sides. You could add your wadding at this stage and sew it in but my fabric is

a bit thick so it will be hard to turn, so I didn't add it yet.


30/128

Turn right sides out so you have a long tube. Then using a safety pin I just thread in a long strip

of wadding for body.

Tuck in your ends, either on an angle or straight across and topstitch all around, ,making sure

you catch the ends into your sewing.

Sew the strap to the bag - you can do this by hand or machine - add some buttons for

decoration and you are done.


31/128

Obviously you can jazz this up as much as you want - maybe patchwork some fabric togetherfirst, add some trims, super easy and versatile ! Hope you like it!

If you're stopping over fromMADE, thanks for visiting and be sure to take a look around at my other stuff. Let's hear it for the boys!

Have a few old pairs of khaki pants laying around? Maybe even some with a few stainson them? Here's your chance to turn your husband's old khaki pants into a super cooldrawstring backpack for your little guy.

You'll need:one pair khaki pants (actually enough fabric for the exterior of 2 backpacks)1/2 yard for lining fabricscraps for front zipper pocket1/8" cotton cording (approx. 3 yards), I found mine at Home Depot - 45' for under $3,

but you can also get cording at your local fabric store.one 8" zipperthread!

Cut your pieces:First, cut your pieces from the khaki pants. Cut across the crotch section (like you'remaking short shorts). Then cut up the inseam of each leg of your pants. Open up thefabric. Cut two pieces 13" wide by 16" tall.I chose to include the side seam towards the lower half of the fabric, but you can place itwherever works for your particular pair of pants.

33/128

From your lining fabric, cut 2 pieces 13" wide by 16" tall. For the zipper portion of thebag cut two pieces 3" tall by 13" wide, two pieces 4.5" tall by 13" wide, and four pieces

2" tall by 4" wide.

Then cut two tabs that will attach the cording to the backpack 2" tall by 4" wide. Foldthem in half lengthwise right sides together and sew {1/4" seam allowance}. Turn rightside out and press. Set aside.

Sew the zipper pocket: (you can omit the zipper and just make this portion a simplepatchwork if don't want a zippered pocket or if you really don't like sewing withzippers, but come on, give it a try, it's fun!)

34/128

Sandwich your zipper between two of the four small pieces, fabric right sides together.Sew a 1/2" seam being sure not to hit the little metal parts on your zipper. Flip the

pieces wrong sides together and iron.

Topstitch with about an 1/8" seam and then again with another line of topstitching abouta 1/4" from the first line. Add the same pieces sewn the same way to the other side ofthe zipper.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S2UHdjj-y_I/AAAAAAAAA4E/6ocpW6boJ9A/s1600-h/topstitch.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S2UGfQ_lUgI/AAAAAAAAA38/M_YMTR7ziT0/s1600-h/zippersides.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S2UHdjj-y_I/AAAAAAAAA4E/6ocpW6boJ9A/s1600-h/topstitch.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S2UGfQ_lUgI/AAAAAAAAA38/M_YMTR7ziT0/s1600-h/zippersides.jpg


35/128

Now take the 4.5" tall pieces and sandwich them around the top long edge of the zipperright sides facing together. Sew using a zipper foot using a 1/4" seam allowance. Flipwrong sides together and press. Next take the two 3" tall pieces and sew them to

the bottom long edge of the zipper.

37/128

Take the top of your assembled pocket piece and press it down about a 1/2 inch. Openup the flap you just pressed (and making sure the bottom of the assembled pocket piecealigns with the bottom of the exterior piece) and sew the pieces together, sewing alongthat ironed crease.

39/128

Fold the pocket piece down and topstitch along the top edge. Baste your pocket piece tothe exterior of the bag about a 1/4" from the edge on the two sides and bottom. {Now is

a great time to add some detail to the top of your bag such as a freezer paper stencil,applique or even a patch.}
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S2UMyPvf8HI/AAAAAAAAA5s/YVqEnG5jLr4/s1600-h/baste.jpg


40/128

Take the two tabs you made earlier and place them about 1.5" from the bottoms of thebag on either side with the raw edges lining up with the raw edges of the exterior of the

bag. Baste.

41/128

Then, make two marks on either side of the top of the wrong side of the exterior of thebag. The first mark is 1/2" from the top and the second mark 3/4" from the first mark.

You will be leaving a gap in between these two marks -- this will be part of the casingfor the drawstrings.

diaper pouch tutorial

5.28.2010

I'm happy to be a part ofluvinthemommyhood'sbaby bonanza today, with a nice littlebreak from all things kitchen!

yes, this would be my version of a diaper keeper. I made this one with myself in mind.I just needed to be able to actually see how many diapers I had in the pouch, otherwiseI'd get down to one diaper and be on an all-day outing. Not good.
http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/05/diaper-pouch-tutorial.htmlhttp://www.noodle-head.com/2010/05/diaper-pouch-tutorial.htmlhttp://www.luvinthemommyhood.com/http://www.luvinthemommyhood.com/http://www.luvinthemommyhood.com/http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S6rQxA-bOdI/AAAAAAAABNI/Z4ozuBGdWTQ/s1600/yumbag.jpghttp://www.luvinthemommyhood.com/http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/05/diaper-pouch-tutorial.html


56/128

Materials:

1/3 yard linen (you'll have plenty of scraps leftover)fabric scrapscotton webbing 1.5" wide - 8" longvelcro (3/4" wide by 1.25")fusible fleece - you could also use cotton battingsewing machine, thread, pins, etc.

I was surprised at how quick this project is, so definitely churn some out for friends andfamily!

Cut the pieces:

57/128

{pictured above are the materials for the butterfly print version - but you get the idea}From the linen cut 2 pieces 8.5" wide by 5" tall. Also cut 2 pieces 8.5" wide by 10" tall

- this will be your lining. From your scraps (and feel free to make thesestrips patchwork, too) end up with 2 pieces 8.5" wide by 3.5" tall and 2 pieces 8.5" wideby 2" tall for the version shown with the butterfly print.

{For the blue version cut 2 pieces 8.5"wide by 3.5" tall of linen and 2 pieces 8.5" wideby 6.5" tall of the blue print - sew these two together and they make up the exterior ofthe pouch.}

Cut 2 pieces of fusible fleece 8.5"wide by 9.5" tall.

Make the exterior:

Sew on the fuzzy piece of the velcro about two inches down and centered on one of theexterior pieces (this will be the front of the diaper keeper).

60/128

With RIGHT sides facing, sew the two exterior pieces together using a 1/2" seamallowance around both sides and bottom.

61/128

Pinch the corners together and sew a straight stitch 1" from the point. Do this for bothcorners. Clip corners.

Make the lining:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S_85HJYmk9I/AAAAAAAABu0/StG7ZoEZqx0/s1600/14.jpg


62/128

With RIGHT sides facing, sew the lining together on the sides and bottom, but this timeleave a 3" opening at the bottom (this will be for turning later). Box the corners as youdid with the exterior.

Attach the cotton webbing:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S_85UGdthTI/AAAAAAAABvE/KqX0tFROpmg/s1600/12.jpg


63/128

Baste the cotton webbing to the RIGHT side of the exterior piece at the back of thediaper keeper. Another option on this step would be to make a fabric strap. If you douse the cotton webbing I would recommend getting a fairly thin one (mine was fromHancock Fabrics), some webbing is much thicker than others.

Assembling the diaper keeper:

With the RIGHT sides facing, slip the exterior into the lining, matching up the top andside seams, pin and sew all the way around the top with a 1/2" seam allowance.

65/128

Be sure to tuck the cotton webbing down into the diaper keeper.

Pull the exterior through the opening you left in the lining. Poke out corners.

Sew the opening shut with a very small seam allowance, or sew by hand.

67/128

Push the lining into the diaper keeper. Since the lining was a 1/2" taller than theexterior, it'll form a nice border along the top edge of the diaper keeper.

Press and stitch "in the ditch" all around the diaper keeper.

Finish the strap:Pull the cotton webbing around to the front and adjust as necessary to line up with thefuzzy part of the velcro.

Turn under the webbing twice and pin on the vecro. Take your time and sew on thehook part of the velcro at the end of the strap.

1/2 yard for straps, or cotton webbing or a handle type you preferbias tape - handmade or store boughtthread, sewing machinewater soluble pen

pattern pieces

{1/2" seam allowances throughout, unless indicated differently}

Cut and prepare pieces:Cut two pieces from the main pattern piece out of the exterior fabric. Also cute two

pieces of the lining fabric if you're using a lining. You don't have to use a lining theway the bag is constructed, but if you want to use a lighter weight fabric on the exterior,you'll probably want to use a lining.

Cut two pocket pieces. One of which will be the lining of the pocket.

Cut strap pieces: cut two pieces 6" tall by 24-27" long, depending on how long youwant your handles to be.

Cut reinforcement pieces: these are on the inside of the bag, they can add a decorative

or fun touch if you'd like, cut two pieces 3" tall by 13" wide. Iron one long edge of eachpiece WRONG sides facing by 1/2"

Sew down the length of the strap with the first row of stitching at 3/8" and the secondline of stitching at about 1/8" on each side of the strap. Repeat for other strap. Setaside.

Make pocket:Make these as patchworky as you'd like. (And, sorry, I didn't take pictures of makingthe pocket, let me know if you need help on this.) Place pocket pieces RIGHT sidestogether, sew using a 1/2" seam allowance all the way around the edge of the pocket,leaving a 2" opening on the bottom side of the pocket piece. Clip corners and turn rightside out through the hole you left at the bottom. Press. Topstitch on the TOP edge ofthe pocket only. I did two rows of stitching about 1/8" and 1/4" from the top. Set aside.

Align strap pieces with the raw edges of the top of the bag, spacing them equally from

both sides, leaving about 3.5" between the straps (see the tiny little red arrow lineabove). Be sure not to twist the strap at this point!

Next, align the reinforcement piece with the unfolded edge at the top of the bag.

85/128

Next, take your bias tape and sandwich it along the sides and bottom of the tote and sewinto place. Be sure to tuck in the raw edges of the tape by folding them under. Sewingon the bias tape can be a bit tedious, especially with thinner bias tapes (I made my biastape strip 1.75" wide), but just take your time and go slow, this is the part that will reallyshow the quality of your work!
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/THM9KQTmG2I/AAAAAAAACWM/SspxOYOZXaI/s1600/1+(20).jpg


86/128

That's it! Fill it with books, sling it on your shoulder and you're off to the library!

{Just wanted to add that for the patchwork/scrap type bag, I made my own bias tapewith scraps as well as some of the strap piece, the pocket, and the reinforcement pieces.

The pocket was made using nine 3.5" squares and sewn using a 1/2" seam allowance.}

The best part is that the exterior and lining of the bag is made with 1/2 yard cuts, so Ithink in total my bag cost me around $8, not to shabby. Plus I won't feel bad kicking it

around at the library, ice cream shop, and around town.

98/128

Sew down the middle of the pocket piece, marking a line with a water soluble pen ifdesired. This creates your divided pocket. You might also want to do a few stitchesacross the top just to reinforce the pocket.

fold-over bag tutorial

3.05.2010

Thanks againBloomfor hosting my tutorial yesterday! I've really enjoyed so many ofBloom's topics since I first found their blog. I especially loved the post on handmade

gifts for Christmas, it really helped reign me in and made me realize what was mostimportant - spending time with my children.

Now before I get too sappy, here it is: the fold-over bag - a casual and fun spring bag!

Materials needed:1/2 yard material for exterior (you'll need about 3/4 of a yard if you have a fabric with a

107/128

directional print)1/2 yard material for liningscraps for pocketdouble fold bias tape (I made my own, but it's really easy to pick some up at the store,too!)

about a 1/2 yard of medium weight fusible interfacing2 yards of cotton webbing (1 1/2" wide)(5) 3/8" grommetsthe usual sewing tools: rotary cutter/mat, thread, pins, etc.

Let's get going!

Preparing your material:First cut your exterior and lining fabrics to 14" wide by 22" tall (2 of exterior, 2 oflining). For the pocket, cut a piece of fabric 8.5" wide by 11" tall (iron on your fusiblewebbing to the wrong side of this pocket piece). You'll need to use a piece of bias tapeapproximately 8 3/4" long to use for the top of the pocket and about a 32" piece for the

top edge of the bag. In both cases my bias tape wasn't actually bias tape (since we're notusing it around any curves it isn't necessary) - it was cut straight across the grain.

For the inside pocket:You can adjust this pocket size as you see fit, I wanted it to hold my two most importantthings - my keys and my cell phone. I also like a nice stiff pocket (that's why I'm usingthe interfacing - so if you don't care about that you can just omit it).
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E01gVQIvI/AAAAAAAABHA/T-kqQxQ8JLk/s1600-h/pocketfold.jpg


108/128

Fold each side in 1/2 inch and press. Fold entire piece wrong sides together in half and

press again.

Attach bias tape to the top of the pocket. Next you'll want to take one piece of yourlining fabric that's cut to size and fuse on another piece of interfacing to the back side.(This will help your pocket from ripping away from the lining if you get a little crazydigging in the pocket looking for your rigging cell phone.) I place the top of my pocketabout 13" from the top of my bag opening.

109/128

Sew pocket in place along both sides and bottom (I'm showing the inside of the liningso you can see how I stitched the pocket in place). You may also choose to divide the

pocket by sewing a single line of stitching down the pocket.

For the bag:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E0N7KfvOI/AAAAAAAABFY/2fuZgOZCMvk/s1600-h/attachpocket.jpg


110/128

Next, take the two exterior pieces and place them right sides together. Pin. With a 1/2"seam allowance sew both sides and bottom of bag together, leaving the top open.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E0VmdJltI/AAAAAAAABFo/eMkLfDdXeok/s1600-h/boxcorner1.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E044Ds8kI/AAAAAAAABHQ/yQBDZvP3riY/s1600-h/sewexterior.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E0VmdJltI/AAAAAAAABFo/eMkLfDdXeok/s1600-h/boxcorner1.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E044Ds8kI/AAAAAAAABHQ/yQBDZvP3riY/s1600-h/sewexterior.jpg


111/128

To make the boxed corners place your hand inside the bag corner and press together thetwo seams making a triangle.

Now measure 1 1/2" from the tip of that triangle and make a mark (I use a pin - butthat's kind of a lazy and less precise way to make the line) perpendicular to the seam.Sew along that mark.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E0W8RQfQI/AAAAAAAABFw/qX9n22IpAQk/s1600-h/boxcorner2.jpg


112/128

Trim tip off leaving a 1/2" seam allowance. Repeat for other corner.Do the same steps above for the lining of the bag.

Assembling the bag:

113/128

Place lining into exterior of bag WRONG sides facing together. Align side seams andpin in place.

114/128

Take your bias tape and pin in place, aligning raw edges to the raw edges of the top ofthe bag. Start sewing along the fold about a 1/2" in, leaving a little tail unsewn (we'lltake care of this in the next step).

Sew all the way around the top of the bag.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__A1V8kztPXs/S5E06uDIybI/AAAAAAAABHY/DCrvieCL5-U/s1600-h/sewonbias.jpg


115/128

Now, fold in that little tail, that'll leave a nice finished edged when you flip the tapeover.

Flip tape over and pin in place, sew close to edge. I had success sewing the bias tape onwith the lining side up, but you may want to sew it with the exterior side up since that'sthe side that you'll be seeing most.

Fold over the top of the bag and press (you can fold it over however far looks good toyou, I folded mine down about 6.5" from the top. Looking pretty spiffy now.

Attaching the strap:I cut my cotton webbing about 49 inches long, but you can pin your strap on the bag andadjust it to fit how you like it. I wanted a cross-body type strap.

For an added punch of color (or pattern if you wish), take a few small pieces of scrapfabric and make them into double fold bias tape. Sew onto raw edges of cotton webbing- this will cover up the raw edges. My first bag I was able to tuck the webbing

underneath to hide the raw edge, but the black webbing was pretty thick - so this was anice alternative. Pin the strap in place centered on the side seams with a tail of ithanging about 4" down from the top of the fold. Mark where your grommets will be

placed, cut the holes through all layers of the fabric, insert grommet, hammer into place(be sure to read the directions on the back of the grommet package for full directions).Place two grommets on each side of bag. {If you don't have grommets, or don't like thelook, you can also just sew the straps in place, but it can get a little tricky}. Just be sureto make sure your straps aren't crossed and that they are parallel to the side seam whenyou go to insert your grommets.

Making front tab (this is mostly decorative, but it sort of functions as a pull tab for

when you want to open the bag):

You're done! This can be a really fun and functional bag. I used a home dec weightfabric from ikea for the exterior of this bag, but you could also use a regular quiltingweight cotton. You might want to interface it with some medium weight interfacing ifyou choose to use a regular quilting cotton, unless you want a really 'slouchy' bag.

Enjoy! Here's an alternate version I made using slightly different bag measurements, butthe same concept:

This is my latest bag design I've been working on, well, just about forever. Not really,but when I was writing up myfold-over bag tutorial, this was another design I sketchedout thinking I would make it my first pattern. So things don't always go as planned, butI'm really happy with the results, and happy that this will be my second pattern!

I'm hoping to have things all wrapped up by this weekend so I can get it ready for salestarting on Monday.

I'm calling it the Runaround Bag because I think it's the perfect size for running errandsand regular day to day stuff. It'll hold all your goodies, but not so many that your

should will feel like it's breaking off!
