  I made an easy make-up zipper pouch using leftover fabrics and was happy with the result. The final size was 26 cm x 12 cm.

The G Bag

By -





I am planning to make at least three tote bags after I've done my palette challenge ss2012. And I am very happy that I finished the first tote bag. I named her "the G bag". She is very cute tote bag with three inner pockets and the size is big enough to put all the stuff. I can carry her arround the shopping mall or to go to the beach/swimming pool.

The size of the bag approximately 16.5" x 10". The pattern is selfdrafted tote bag pattern by me. After I've done the pattern, I copy the pattern to the fabric that I already prepared, cut the fabric, iron the fusible interfacing on the fabric and sew it.

Materials:
  • home decor fabric (green stripe), cotton (green flower) and light weight cotton (white colour for the inner pockets and interfacing)
  • fusible interfacing
  • bias tape, click here if you want to make your own bias tape
  • metal bag buckle
  • zipper
  • snap fastener
  • big button





Before I say goodbye, I am not promise but I will try my best to write the tutorial how to make the tote bag on the future post.
Happy sewing!
