Tutorial 25: Sew Simple Reversible Knot bag

This Project Consists of 4 Sections:

• Print & Prepare the pattern included in your Instant Download (steps 1 & 2)

• Cut your Fabric (steps 3 - 8)

• Embroider (Optional) (steps 9 – 12)

• Final Sewing (steps 13 – 30)

Step 1: Print all the pages in the PDF named “SEWING”.

Step 2: Once printed you will be able to see the guides and coordinates so the printed sheets can be laid out

easily and accurately. Secure the panels with scotch tape.

Step 3: Cut out the pattern. You’ll also need the fabric of choice and a contrast fabric.

Step 4: Pin the pattern to the fabric and cut 2 of the plain fabric and 2 of the contrast fabric.

Step 5: Simply cut along the edge as the pattern include a 1/4″seam allowance

Step 6: Also cut 2 of the contrast fabric.

Step 7: Your 4 fabric panels (2 x plain ; 2 x contrast)

Step 8: Turn panels facing right sides to the inside

Step 9: Mark the center of your panel to be embroidered

Step 10: RECYCLING TIP – Dry left-over soap pieces. It works wonderfully to make markings on dark

fabric and is easy to remove afterward.

Step 11: Hoop the fabric. Move the needle to the center point markings to ensure your embroidery design is

exactly where you would like it to be.

Step 12: Embroider the design. A complete color chart is included in your download.

Step 13: With the rights side facing each other (to the inside), using a 1/4″ seam allowance, pin then sew

along the top of each handle and along the bottom curve (make sure you sew all the way up to where panels

1 and 2 meet, as well as where panels 4 and 5 meet.

The length of panel 1 will form the “armhole” of the long handle and the length of panel 5 will form the

“armhole” of the short handle)

Step 14: Close up of sewn bottom curve

Step 15: Close up of sewn handle (long)

Step 16: Close up of sewn handle (short)

Step 17: Do the same with the contrast fabric. Sew along the bottom curve and on top of each handle.

(Make sure you sew all the way up to where panels 1 and 2 meet, as well as where panels 4 and 5 meet.

The length of panel 1 will form the “armhole” of the long handle and the length of panel 5 will form the

“armhole” of the short handle)

Step 17: Do the same with the contrast fabric

Step 18: Sew along the bottom curve

Step 19: Sew along the top edge of the short handle

Step 20: Sew along the top edge of the long handle

Step 21: Turn the contrast fabric inside out

Step 22: From the side, Insert the contrast panels inside the plain panel

Step 23: Close up of what it looks like now.

Step 24: Line up the seams along the “neckline” and pin.

Step 25: Close up look

Step 26: Sew with a 1/4″ seam allowance along the neckline of the bag.

Step 27: Fold the raw edges of the “armholes” in a 1/4″ and pin. Press and baste together. Topstitch all

along the “armholes” and along the “neckline”
