Creative Crafting is to show the world you don't have to be Martha Stewart to craft. It's almost the lazy/simple way of putting together decent crafts. Enjoy our first piece to this feature.
What you need:1.5 yard of fabrics
Pinking ShearsSewing Machine
Ikea Jall laundry basket Stand
Instructions:Deconstruct the original bag by ripping the seams. Each pieces serves as your pattern.
-Cut fabric out accordingly.
Then start to sew. * I started with the body of bag
- Fold in half the long way wrong side out
- Sew the edges together (long side only) with a 1/4 to 1/2 inseam whichever you prefer stitch you want. I suggest picking one that will be strong. I have a Kenmore and used a stretch stitch: double overlock.
-open up the side and iron
* Sew on the bottom
-The trick I used was leaving the wrong side of the fabric out and pin the bottom
-Sew around with a strong stitch again
-Turn the bag inside out to continue
* Sew the trims by making bias tape. The top of the rim of bag longer and skinner than the handles.
-Sew the handle bias tape first
-Sew the top of the bag last
* Sew on the flaps that will go around the top of the stands
-There should be two flaps to sew on
Finally (a step I haven't done) sew on Velcro to the under the flap and it's pair to the outside of the bag. This should allow you to attach and detach the bag.As simple as that.
**Shown here no velcro staps was applied. No time... because I had to write this piece :)
