I spend the last few days designing a pattern for a big bag.
Equipped with a sheet of paper and a pencil, I sat at my desk now and was thinking about.
I already had a rough idea in my head.
Let us beginn.
Dimension: 36x42x23cm ( seam addition included)
I chose two fabric, white and washable inside and a very light polyester/cotton fabric for the outside.
Now fabric, scissor, tape and it's ready to go.
The bag is made up of two parts, the inner bag and the outer bag. On the outer bag are placed the small pocket.
Here I have listed the individual parts:
Outer bag:
4x 36x42cm (long side)- 2x long side and 2x for the iterated outer pocket ( it is the half of the long side, please fold and put batting in)
4x 36x23cm - 2x side part and 2x for the small pocket ( fold+batting)
1x 42x23 bottom
Inside bag:
2x 36x42cm long side
2x 36x23cm side part
1x 42x23cm bottom, for all parts the same from batting
Sewing outer bag:
First I sewed the small outer bag on the long side and the side parts.
After that it is sewn according to this order: long side, side part, long side, side part (right side on right side)
Now the bottom, that is a bit difficult. First pin with needles and adjust the corner. I pin first the corner. Sew all around.
Sewing inner bag:
With the inner bag, proceed in the same way.
Please note: I take additional batting material, to make the bag more stable.
If you want to have a small inner pocket for pens, phone etc., you have to sew them in before assembling the parts.
Now come the handles.
Mine are: 2x65x10cm plus inside batting, makes the handles more stronger.
Sew close on the edges, I sew both side the handles, then iron.
Now both bags are placed in one another, the handles fitted and sew all around together.
I sew twice 1cm(3/8") from the edges and close to the edges.
On the handles zickzack stich.
Done!
I've also sewn a zipper in my bag, you can, but you don't need.
