School gift bags-Use blank as Pattern-template
Arc shape: use as many auxiliary points as possible
Various fabrics: share Pattern !
finishPattern
Now make a Pattern, by placing the blank on the edge of the wrapping paper sheet, holding the point with a steady hand and rolling the school bag once around (the adhesive seam serves as orientation) and set a mark with a pencil at the height of the upper edge. Now hold the blank and draw a line from the tip to the mark
For the arc shape, set as many help points as possible on your Pattern, which you will later connect to form an arc
If, as in the example, several substances are used, subdivide Pattern accordingly - here: 3 cut pieces
Cutting & Sewing
The individual pattern pieces are now transferred to the fabric with the help of the line-Ex pen. It is essential that a seam allowance of 1 cm is included. The individual pieces of fabric are now sewn together at the curves. Fold the fabric seam smoothly and, if desired, overstitch with a serrated tape.

Cut to size
For the cloth board you need a piece of felt of the size 14 x 18 cm and a piece of Chalkboard fabric of the size 12 x 16 cm. Now position the Chalkboard fabric exactly on the felt piece and fix it
Sew fabric panel
The edge of the tablecloth is now quilted with white stitching just along the edge
Felt with wood look
In order to give the Felt still some wood look, further uneven decorative seams are quilted with brown sewing thread on the Felt .
Alternative to the Chalkboard fabric
If you don't Chalkboard fabric have one available, you can make Cotton fabric Board paint one yourself. To do this, cut the fabric to the correct size as described Cotton fabric above and brush it with Between the Board paint. applications let the fabric dry well.
Also a nice idea is to cut one to size Cotton fabric and embroider it with the name of the ABC protector by hand Embroidery twist or with the sewing machine
Of course you can also sew on a motif. Ready-made appliqués are best suited for this. However, if you want to choose the motif freely and cut it out of fabric, it is advisable to transfer and sew it on with iron-on fleece.

Sew on the fabric panel and Paint sponge
The Paint sponge is glued to a piece of serrated tape. Arrange the fabric board and the serrated tape with the sponge on the school bag fabric, place the Ribbon with the sponge behind the board and fix everything with pressure-sensitive adhesive (temporary spray glue) or with Pins . Now sew everything together with brown Yarn by a seam just at the edge of the inner frame. The serrated tape can also be sewn directly to the edge of the board with white sewing thread.
Extra tip: To position the fabric panel perfectly
For the exact positioning of the fabric panel on the school bag fabric we recommend working with temporary spray adhesive. This is sprayed onto the back of the fabric panel. This allows the board to be repositioned again and again, and it sticks. Another advantage: the sewing machine needle does not stick when sewing together
Of course the fabric panel can also be fixed with Textile glue . When using Textile glue the fabric panel is not sewn on only but is also securely fixed by the adhesive. Before continuing sewing, this glue must dry completely so that it does not stick to the sewing machine needle.

Sew rosette
For the locking rosette a rectangular Fabric cut is required with a height of 35 cm. The fabric length is made up of the circumference of the school bag opening and 2 cm seam allowance (approx. 61 cm). The circumference should be determined exactly with the measuring tape. Turn the fabric inside out, fold in 1 cm on the long side twice, iron well and topstitch the fabric edge with a straight stitch.
Finish of the School gift bag
Sew the fabric together at the short sides on links to form a fabric tube. Stitch the fabric shoulder bag and the rosette together on the left side and finally sew.
Finally everything can be turned around. Simply insert the school bag blank into the fabric for reinforcement, label the board with the desired name or slogan and of course fill the bag! Finally, it is closed with a pretty ribbon.
