ASSEMBLY

1

Cut four triangles, two from the outer

fabric and two from the lining. These

need to be right-angle triangles – the

adjacent is 50cm, the opposite is 50cm

and the hypotenuse 70cm. The easiest

way to cut the triangles is to square the

fat quarter off at 50cm and divide it in

half diagonally.

MATERIALS

◆ fat quarter outer fabric

◆ fat quarter lining fabric

2

Take an outer and a lining triangle and

them place right sides together. Sew

around the outside, leaving a turning gap.

3

Clip across the corners and turn out

through the gap. Press so that the

edges are perfect. Repeat for the other

two pieces. Poke out the corner points.

4

Lay your two triangles on top of

one another.

5

Sew from the point of the top triangle

across to the point of the bottom

triangle, that sits underneath. This vertical

seam forms the base.

6

Top-stitch around bottom of both

triangles to close the gaps and

embellish your bag.

7

With the bag right side out, sew up the

side seams from the bottom edge to

the tip on both sides.

Measure 4cm in from the corner

on two sides and draw a line. Sew

along this line and trim – this will a

French seam, so trim back to about

half a normal seam allowance.

9

Repeat for the other side and turn the

bag inside out. Finger-press to crease

and sew a normal seam across. Repeat for

the other side to enclose seam.
