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.

another izzy and ivy purse-FARRAH

I seem to be stuck on making izzy and ivy purses. First I made the ruffle bag twice and then I moved on to the Sassy Connie. Persevering, I made the Farrah and no( it is my favorite.
Of all the patterns so far (3) this is the easiest to read and follow. Yeah...
The fabrics are free spirit and the ruffle is marcus. It has 2 silver rectangle rings and no closure. It has an outside pocket and 2 inside slip in double pockets. I think it is adorable.

Here is a great shot of the inside with the zipper and the cell phone holder pocket is opposite the zipper pocket. You can also see the magnetic snap tabs. The pattern called for a strip of fabric to cover the sides at the top but I decided to make it a square and turn it to be trianges on both sides. It turned out quite cute I think.

Just finished my new Izzy and ivy pattern-the sassy Connie Bag. This was a super challenge and really difficult for me to make. That said, I succeeded---finally.................

The bag is really 2 bags. and it took me awhile to figure it out due to a few typos in the pattern.This first picture shows an outside dot pocket and the straps with ring loops. it also shows the lining.

This is a large bag with tons of storage room and would be wonderful for traveling. It called for magnetic snaps in the lining, but my new favorite way to do this is using tabs sewn into the lining. I like that much better.
This fabric is Mary Engelbreit for Moda . Of course, I love the flowers, and that is why i bought this fabric.
