You still need a nice shopping bag? No problem - with ours Jute fabric combined with one you can conjure Motif fabric up a natural looking bag. It is also perfect for wrapping gifts or for giving away as a gift yourself.
This is how you sew the bag:
Cut a Fabric cut 42 cm (width) × 45 cm (height) cm jute fabric with a seam allowance of approximately 2 cm.
From the motif fabric linen look "Freya" you need two of approx. 42 ( Fabric cuts width) x 25 (height) cm with a seam allowance of 1 cm. A long edge is always folded in. The fold is 2 cm
Now the two Fabric cuts are sewn to the jute fabric. To do this, place the motif fabric on the longer side of the jute fabric right sides together and sew the sides together. Now sew the fabric label by hand in the desired position.
Then the sides are sewn shut. To do this, fold your entire Fabric cut centre right sides together and sew the open sides together.
Now unfold the corners of the bottom of the bag so that the side seams and the bottom folds are exactly on top of each other. This way triangles are created. The seam allowances are folded apart. To help, insert a needle into the fabric to fix it. Topstitch vertically from corner to corner and cut away the tip of the triangle.
Now topstitch two edges of the bottom to create a pocket bottom. Now turn the bag over and topstitch the sides as well as the flaps.
Now the eyelets can be attached. To do this, insert the eyelets into the fabric according to the instructions and thread the Cord for the handles. Make knots at the end of each Cord one so that it can no longer slip through the eyelet.
