It reminded me of an artist placing the paint onto a palette before they brush their first strokes onto the canvas.
I followed Teresa’s clear and detailed instructions and began by making the outside of the bag. I sewed a back seam, pressed it, and set that piece aside.
The next step was to assemble the inside of the bag. Batting is fun to work with; it makes the fabric more stable and gives it some life.
The pockets came together quickly. I placed the pocket pieces on the lining and sewed them on to make the small pockets.
Then I stitched the back edge together, pressed the seam open and made the boxed corners.
Working with the zippers was next. I used washi tape for help in keeping the zipper together, because I like to work with pretty things if I can. It was a little spine-tingling to work with and cut the ends off the zippers! Better make sure to measure twice and cut once!
One zipper was sewed onto the inside pocket strip. I marked the center with my all time favorite pen, the AIR erasing Sewline Pen, and attached it to the fused lining unit.
After I sewed a center seam to make two separate pockets, I carefully trimmed off all of the excess pocket fabric.
I made the carrying handle and attached it to the lining.
I prepared the second zipper by sewing the tabs on the ends.
After it was prepared, I used plastic clips to secure it to either side of the open bag. Then I proceeded to baste the zipper on, starting on the bottom left and sewing all the way around until I sewed off the right corner.
I placed the outer piece of fabric that had been made first, into the lining, so the two pieces were right sides facing each other.
I basted the only raw edges remaining.
I zipped the zipper up, leaving a couple inches undone.
To finish the boxed corners, I matched up the bottom of the bag and sewed it shut. The pattern calls for a zig zag stitch, but I simply made two parallel seams on the bottom to finish and secure the seam making sure to back stitch when beginning and ending.
I trimmed the extra length of zipper off to match the end and turned the bag inside out.
Now I have a Catch-all Cutie too! Do you!?
