Hi friends,I am going to show you how to stitch a sling bag.It is a very easy method.This bag will have a main pocket which will have a smaller on in middle.It will also have a zipper pocket on the outside .
Take a cloth 16" wide and 18" long .Take lining cloth of same measurement.I have used lining cloth of three layers to get strength for the bag.Make sure that the colour of the cloth used does not bleed. A Huttach the lining to the wrong side of the cloth.Fix the zipper at 4"inches from the top.I have given detailed description of the method to fix the zipper in my earlier bag tutorials.
Please leave any query if you have any doubts.
I have done the embroidery at this stage as it is easier to handle the cloth.
Now take a cloth 8" long and wide and fold the upper edge and stitch.Now fold the length in two and stitch on the sides.Turn the cloth inside out to get the pocket.
Position the pocket on the inside of the bag and fix the sides. I have put quilting stitches from the point the pocket ends to the bottom.This is optional.
This is how the bag will look on the outside.
Now I have put piping of contrast colour to the upper and lower edges.
Fold the lower part of the bag to cover the pocket and stitch along the edges.Now stitch a piping
along the two lateral sides.
Attach the handles and the bag is ready.
Keep two buttons to fix the upper flap.
Here is a closeup of the embroidery I have done. Hope you all like it and hope you will try it out.Thank you.
