WEEKEND SEWING : Floral Handbag plus Mini Tutorial

 Hi everybody.. how are you today? 

Feeling good?

I don't know what i feel, it is mixed feeling

and I think, i will write something to make me feel better.

Today i want to share my handmade bag that i made from Cotton Time's pattern. 

If you have this magazine, let's make the bag together


front view

back view

and below is the magazine that became my reference


and here is the original bag...



...but i want to make different style with same pattern.
first, gather your fabric and cut based the pattern, for me, i cut front fabric to make 2 pieces fabrics

forgot to take a photo of the pocket

left: front outer fabric and right: inner fabric


sew the front pieces together

and topstiching


sew around the pocket but don't forget to make a turn back hole 

after you turn inside out, sew the pocket to lining fabric


sew the handle back side together. next, turn inside out


and i put some dacron to make it fluffy. set aside or you can sew the handle to outer fabric in this step


sew the inner gusset with inner fabric right side together and leave some space unsewn at front lining fabric


here is the look when you finish sew the inner part

do same thing to outer fabric. 


here is what the outer look like

sew the handle (see picture for reference)


now, put your outer inside the lining right side together. sew the top.
and turn inside out through the hole in lining.

top stitching the top.

hand sew or machine sew the turning hole 

viola, it is ready.


i know, it is not a good tutorial, but i hope you can understand 

Happy productive weekend 💓
