2 ) Place white print 12×15" rectangle right
side down atop Step 1 unit, aligning raw
edges; pin along same top edge. Using a
zipper foot, sew together along top edges
through all layers (Diagram 4).

3 ) Press navy print and white print rectangles
away from zipper. Topstitch^1 ∕ 8 " from fold
(Diagram 5).

4 ) Repeat steps 1–3 to attach navy print and
white print 8×12" rectangles to remaining
edge of zipper tape (Diagram 6).

5 ) Slide zipper pull to zipper center, but do not
trim excess tape yet.

contrasting handle
The handle is double-sided, with one
side matching the lining fabric and the other
matching the bag body. The project is written
for the bag body fabric to be on the top of
the handle, but you can easily switch it to
have the contrasting lining fabric on top. In
Finish Case, Step 9 (page  77 ), if you are sewing
the boxed corner with the pressed open seam
facing up, the ½ " of handle fabric you see
will be the print that ends up on the top of
the handle.

TIP

“This train-case-style bag is perfect
for all sorts of objects—makeup,
toiletries, or even sewing supplies.
And it’s a great way to show off a
larger scale print!”
— JESSICA VANDENBURGH, DESIGNER
