Reversible bag
Here is the second reversible bag I sewn. I completed it last night after the cut up pieces were sitting on the table for a week.
I saw this bag from Martha Stewart’s sit. It looked really easy to make. There is also a video on how to make the bag on the site too. So I printed the instructions and the pattern. Took the pattern to Kinko’s to blow it up to 200% and another 300%. The above picture is from the 200% pattern. I used regular cotton quilting fabric without any interfacing. I regret not using any interfacing though. The bag looks very “soft”
The below picture is from the 300% blown up pattern but the bag is not completed yet. The handles are not sewn. They need to be top stitched. I use canvas for the outter fabric. As always, the bigger the piece is, it’s easier to sew. The canvas material is stiffer, so I didn’t use any interfacing for this bag.
When I made the first one which I didn’t take a picture of coz it was not the exact pattern, and it was smaller than the second one I have sewn, it was a bitch to sew the “armholes”. The “neckline” is ok. The written instructions are not clear since I’m a visual sort of person. I have to view the video a few times. See how dungu I am with instructions.
Yep, these two bags were keeping me awake till midnight last night. Actually I am making 2 of the red canvas bags since I bought a yard of the material. Thank goodness for 40% discounts at Joann’s.
