It's in the Bag


Singer (as in the sewing machine manufacturer) holds sewing classes regularly for staff at Martha Stewart. I guess if you work for Martha, you better know the basics. This project is their first sewing project. Its easy, reversible, and can totally fit your style based on what fabric you select. And its it cute?

I made two of these bags in a day, different styles, of course. That's start to finish. I washed the fabric, cut the fabric, pinned the panels in the morning and sewed in the afternoon. The most time-consuming part is slip-stitching the handle shut after pulling it right side out. But still quick to make. The second most time-consuming part was figuring out how to piece together the template after enlarging it to 200% on 3 pages to get it all copied. Thank you Office Max lady for your help!(No, she doesn't read this blog.)

Again, I'm going to leave the instructions up to Martha. Their clear and concise.
