ASSEMBLY

1

Fuse Vlieseline H630 to all of the

outer panels and also the inner top

trims of the lining. Inner top trims are

made from Fabric A and they are the

only part of the lining to be interfaced.

Adapt the width

of your pockets

depending on what

you’d like to use

your bag for

CUTTING

From Fabric A, cut:

2 33x41cm rectangles for front &

back outer panels

2 14x41cm rectangles for side

outer gussets

14x33cm rectangle for base outer gusset

2 10x33cm rectangles for top lining trim

2 10x14cm rectangles for top lining

trim gussets

From Fabric B, cut:

2 4x75cm strips for handle trims

2 3.5x33cm strips for straight binding

From Fabric C, cut:

2 33x32cm pieces for front & back

main lining panels

2

Attach the inner top trims of the lining

to the main lining pieces and top-stitch

narrowly along the top edge of the lining

(See Pic A.)

3

For handle trims, fold the trim

fabric under by 0.5cm on each side

to make a straight binding. Lay this onto

the handles centrally and top-stitch it

down using matching thread. (See Pic B.)

Fabric glue or double-sided tape helps

it to stay in place as you sew. Repeat for

the other handle.

4

To make straight binding for the

mesh fabric, take the strip of fabric

and fold it in half lengthways. Crease

and fold the raw edges to the centre

crease. (See Pic C.) Iron, then trim one

long end of mesh fabric with the straight

binding. Repeat for the other one.

5

For the inner slip pockets, fuse S320

interfacing centrally to the wrong side

of two of the pieces of pocket fabric.

These will be the outside of the pocket.

6

Take an interfaced pocket piece

and an uninterfaced one and, with

RST, pin. Sew around the edge of the

interfacing (see Pic D) leaving a

turning gap in the bottom.

7

Trim the pocket seam allowance to

0.5cm and clip across the corners to
