HAND BAG


Searching through google images for cloth bags I found so many interesting designs of handbags and they inspired me to create one for myself. I had a leftover darkgreen piece of cloth(cotswool) from with I decide to make bag. Inner lining of bag is of black color cotton. Thin foam sheet has been placed in between matching green Zari border , decorative hanging and center piece(from my old bag) are main attraction of this bag.

















Step by step instructions for bag are as below:
  • U shaped 2 pieces of green cloth, 2 pieces of black cloth & 2 pieces of foam sheet measuring                                       .14"X12"
  • Strip for attaching U shaped pieces 3"    Wide and  32"   length for joining.(inner side black cloth foam is not required)
  •   34"    Strip with border attached to it for hanging and  cut 5"    for front  flap and keep aside.
  • Inner part is simple and self explanatory with 2 pockets. It has to be placed in the darkgreen cloth . 
  • Take one piece of green cloth and foam sew them together, sew eight straight lines horizontally and vertically on it.
  • For the wrong side take one piece of green cloth and foam sew them together make a straight line for proper positioning of foam.
  • After preparing the 2 pieces take    cloth with foam and sew from one end to another from both sides this will make the main body of bag.
  • Add decorative hanging to the  the strip with Zari border from both sides sew it with main body of bag from both sides..
  • Attach 1"  piece velcro with  front flap.
