Steps To Complete
|
Begin by embroidering the fabric for the panel on the bag. |
|
After embroidering, turn the piece over so the back is facing up. |
|
Draw lines connecting the marks and cut out the shape. |
|
Next, prepare the fabric for the outer shell of the sack. |
|
Leaving the outer shell wrong side out, pinch each bottom corner and align the side seams with the bottom seams. |
|
Trim off the corners leaving about 1/2" excess fabric at the seams. |
|
Turn the outer shell right side out and lay it flat. Add the fusible web to the backside of the embroidered piece (refer to the fusible web instructions). |
|
Stitch the embroidered piece in place by sewing a decorative stitch (like a blanket stitch) around the outer edge. |
|
Using crepe-backed satin, prepare the inner lining the same as you did the outer shell. |
|
Prepare the casings for the drawstrings. |
|
Fold each long side of each piece 1/2" in to the wrong side and press. |
|
To prepare the faux fur trim, cut two pieces of the faux fur to 27" x 6". |
|
Bring the bottom edge of the fur up around the top edge of the sack and align it with the top edges of the drawstring casings (wrong side of fur on right side of sack). |
|
Cut two 72" pieces of cord. |
|
Insert the remaining cord through the casings just as you did with the first cord, starting and ending on the left side of the sack. |
