I like this picture with the handle down. This is beautiful fabric and was such fun to sew.

I used Bosal fusible fleece on the outer bag and Bosal lightweight cotton fusible interfacing on the handle and inside bag,

Hobos are my favorite bags. i like a little bigger bag myself.

My Yahoo purse Group called sewingtotebagsandpurses
is having a sew along hosted by Kathy our Moderator. This is my contribution to the effort. I used new fabric by Moda of Me and My Sister designers.

I had a real struggle with the bag but finally won out.

Make Up Bag Tutorial

I want to warn anyone who looks at the tutorial that for some reason it came up backwards. I tried to avoid that in the postings, but I guess the truth is I am not so good at the google blog.

Sewing it up Last Part 5

Sewing it up:
Unzip the zipper
Take the 2 pieces of outside fabric and put them together right
sides facing and sew up the sides and across the bottom.
Take the lining pieces and put them right sides facing and sew up
each side only.

Here you can see where I left the bottom part of the lining open.

*********It is at this point if you want your bag to stand alone
you can box the corners of both the bags before turning.
Take the side seam and the bottom seam and match them up
forming a triangle and sew across the end about 1 ½” from the tip
of the triangle. You would have to sew across t he bottom of the
lining leaving a 3” hole in the middle for turning.
Turning:
Reach through the end of the un- sewn lining and get a hold of the
outside part and pull it through the hole. Turn under the bottom of
the lining and pin and sew across. Tuck the lining down inside the
outside bag.

 finished!!!!!!!!

                 

Loop handle Part 4

Loop:
Now is the time to add the loop. Take the piece of fabric and iron it
in ½ wrong sides together lengthwise and then tuck the long side
inward to the crease and iron again and top stitch down each side.
Fold in ½ and sew across the end.
Put this piece with the end along the side of the outside piece about
an inch under the zipper and the loop will not be sticking out.
Sew across the end a couple of times and only sew this on the
outside piece. Be sure and keep the lining pieces out of the way.

Putting in the zipper Part 3

Zipper: 7”
Lay an outside piece right side facing you and lay the zipper down
about ¼” down along the long edge at the top right side of zipper
down and the edge even with the edge of the fabric. Pin and sew
along the edge all the way across with your zipper foot. Lay down
on top of this a lining piece wrong side up Pin it over the zipper
and re sew along the top edge through the lining piece and the
zipper side you already sewed. Turn the lining over and top stitch
on the edge of the fabric on the outside beside the zipper. Be sure
to pull the lining down smooth against the outside piece.
Now, take this whole piece you just sewed and lay the side with
the zipper down on top of the other outside piece right side facing
you. And pin and sew across the zipper onto the outside piece.
Then take the lining piece wrong side facing you and lay it on top
of what you just sewed and sew across it again. Turn the lining
piece over and top stitch. Now you should have the whole thing
laying flat with the zipper in the middle and the pieces on either
side.
