This is the base of the bag. I suggest you use a dark fabric for the base of the bag as this is the part of the bag that always seems to get dirty |
|
|
|
I had a large enough hoop to be able to stitch the base in one go “Crys_Bag Under_03” If you do not have a large enough hoop I have designed the base so you can stitch

Instructions for the draw string on the top of the bag | |
Cut two pieces of fabric 40 cm each or 16 inches each width Length 20 cm or 8 inches in depth. |
|
Stitch the hem you just pressed |
|
|
|
At each end of the two lengths of fabric stitch a small hem from the top down around 8 cm or 3 inches |
|
|
|
Press with your iron a clean double hem at one end of the two lengths, wide enough for the draw string to go through 2.5 cm or 1 inch Stitch the hem you just pressed
Press the bottom of the long panel and then stitch |
|
|
|
Before you stitch the sides together mark where you would like your stitching to stop, this is where you early on had stitched a small hem on the all the four sides for the draw string to pass through
Stitch both sides |
|
|
|
I hand stitched the feather boa just below the hem of the draw string |
|
|
|
I took this photo after I had hand stitched the handles to the bag |
|
You now put the draw string through and I put on the drawstring at each end a pompom, this is just a bit of fun, but looks great. |
|
I then hand stitched the handles onto the lining fabric. |
|
|
|
You glue the fabric to the inside of the bag making sure that the some of the fabric and boa are up over the top panels of the bag. I then stitched the crystals onto the bag |
