- put the remaining piece of ower fabric of pile #1 face down on the threelayered piece - pin together, start at the darts and stitch from point A to point B using a short stitch. Leave a 4 inch opening at the bottom for turning the right side out later on - Clip rounded corners
5.5. Sewing the bag Continue with pile #2 Execute all steps of 5.4 with the pieces of pile #2 You start by taking the contrasting fabric, right side facing up and putting the ower fabric with the circle drawn on it right on top of it. So for each step of 5.5 you take the opposite fabric compared to 5.4. There’s no need to leave an opening at the bottom this time. Steps 5.4 and 5.5 result in two separate bags that will be put together, one inside the other.
5.6. Attatching the strap - turn the bag that resulted from assembling the pieces of pile #1 right side facing outwards - pin the strap to the left and right side of the bag, right sides facing each other - start pinning from the centre so that the centre of the strap and the seam of the bag are aligned - on both left and right side of the bag you will end up with an extra 0.4 inches of fabric, which is normal - attatch the shoulder strap using a large zigzag stitch (which is only meant to hold the strap in place)
