How to sew a purse organiser/craft bag by Debbie Shore

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

What started off as an organiser turned into a handy craft bag! Lots of pockets including a zipped section will keep all your crafty goodies and notions in their place. I've used foam stabiliser but if you want a softer bag use fusible fleece.
Materials:
112cm x 100cm [44” x 36”] patterned outer fabric
112cm x 100cm [44” x 36”] plain lining fabric
55cm x 3cm [26” x 14”] single sided fusible foam [Bosal]
2 x 15cm [6”] lengths of elastic
30cm [12”] zip
Cut:
Outer bag:
For the front and back:
Two pieces of outer fabric each measuring 36cm x 32cm [14” x 12.5”]
Two pieces of foam stabiliser measuring the same
For the sides:
Two pieces of outer fabric measuring 10cm x 25cm [4” x 10”]
Two pieces of foam stabiliser measuring the same
Outer pockets:
Four pieces of outer fabric measuring 48cm x 18cm [19” x 7”]
Four pieces of lining fabric each measuring 15cm x 18cm [6” x 7”]
Lining:
For the front and back:
Two pieces of lining fabric each measuring 36cm x 33cm [14” x 13”]
For the sides:
Four pieces of lining fabric each measuring 6cm x 26.5cm [2.5” x 10.5”]
Dividing zipped pocket:
Four pieces of lining fabric each measuring 38cm x 19cm [15” x 7.5”]
Four pieces of fabric each measuring 3.5cm x 5cm [1.5” x 2”]
Patch pockets:
Four pieces of lining fabric each measuring 33cm x 15cm [14” x 6”]
Handles:
Two pieces of outer fabric each measuring 32cm x 10cm [12.5” x 4”]

    4/16/23: This is almost like a cargo pocket without all the fuss, which is exactly what I need for a bag I'm about to create. I was so frustrated with all my researching and video watching, and the last thing I didn't want to do was settle on something I didn't feel. Thank you so much, Debbie, for simplifying it for me. This is my way to go!

    I've been searching for a tote bag pattern to make for a friend to take on her trips to chemo treatments. This one might just be perfect. So pretty. Btw, I find that flattening out the seams first and pressing them flat will better allow the seam to lie perfectly on the seam's edge. Just a fingernail press works as well when an iron won't fit. I am a beginner bag maker, but I always like to pass along tips to other beginners when I find one that works well for me. Thank you for all your videos and books.

    Hello Debbie, Love your channel and also love this bag pattern. So glad you told us how you made your pressing area out of cardboard and foil - and fabric 😉. I think that would make a wonderful video where you show us how "tight" we would need to make the top of it, as well as your method of doing so. BTW, I don't have a FB account. 😻 I've often wanted to make my own pressing mat so I can use only the "cutting" mat side of the store - bought one I have at my sewing area without having to flip it over, back - and - forth, almost every time I ever use it. I do a lot of pressing and cutting when I'm at my machine 😻. . TYSM for sharing this video with us. Take care. 😻👍😍

    Finally got everything to fit, and after breaking one needle and bending two others, all denim needles btw, I've finished it and it looks good. I decided to 'stitch in the ditch' round the top to hold the lining in place so used different colour thread top and bottom to make the stitches blend in. It was a lot of hard work so I need a lie down now ;-)

    Nope! This one has me beaten. Firstly I put the main pockets on the exterior height ways instead of length, didn’t realise that. Then the side pockets, I sewed one length ways and one height, so had to unpick the wrong one. That’s where I am just now, so I’ve decided I’m just going to make a plain lining to the size the bag is now and be done with it. I will try again though! 💪🏻👜
