the pattern for this bag is made by myself. it have to pockets inside and a button to close it. on both

sides it have 4 normal pleats and one box pleat in the middle. the two main pieces of the bag are

closed with a french seam. itÂ´s big enough to take all my vital things by me when I go out at the

evening ;D.

Materials

corduroy a thin colored transparent fabric (I don't know the name of it) a silver button

Step 1

neaten the inner bag. fold the upper seam (marked in the pattern) and stitch it. baste the inner bag on the inner bag piece and stitch.

Step 2

iron the seam allowance from the bag band inwards (not on the sides). fold the handle pieces in the middle (right sides facing) and

stitch. turn the inside out.

Step 3

fold the pleats on the right sides of the outer bag pieces and baste them. place the handles on the marked lines on the bag band

and stitch. baste the bag bands on the outer bag pieces and stitch.

Step 4

baste the upper end from the inner bag piece and outer bag piece together (right sides facing) and stitch (1 cm seam allowance).

turn it. now the wrong sides facing. stitch them about 0,5 cm with a big stitch (not the upper part).

Step 5

baste the two bag pieces (inner bag pieces facing) and stitch about 0,7 cm. turn the bag (outer bag pieces facing), baste and stitch

about 1 cm. turn again and iron your bag.
