NG - Rose-Rich

This is the EVERYDAY BAG Cornelia will be helping us make at our next meeting.  The pattern will cost $2.50,

If you choose to make this, please let Loretta know as she will be ordering the pattern for you. You will be able to pay her when you come to the meeting.  Also, remember to bring your Sew n' Tells. We get inspiration from your projects.

(Unfortunately I will not be there due to knee replacement surgery.)

This is from Cornelia:

You will need:

1 yard of fabric for bag, handles and pocket

• 1 yard fusible interfacing
• 1/2 yard of fusible batting
• 1/3 yard extra firm stabilizer such as Pelon 987 F
• Basic sewing supplies and a walking foot for your sewing machine if you have one. ( I don't think I actually used one!)

From bag fabric Cut:

• 1 rectangle 21" x 36" for the body of the bag
• 2 rectangles 4 1/2" x 25" for the handles
• 1 rectangle 6 1/2" x 12" for exterior pocket

From  fusible fleece batting cut:

• 1 rectangle 11 x 20"
• 2 rectangles a scant 2 x 24"
• 1 rectangle 6" x 6 1/2 "

Go ahead and fuse the 1/2 yard of interfacing to the Bag fabric and the 2 1/2 by 24" fusible batting down the center of the handles. This will be a good place to start when we get set up.

I think everyone will enjoy putting this project together!  Let Loretta know if you want to do it.  She will have the pattern for you at the meeting. They cost $2.50.

Let's sew together!
