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 Shears
Sewing 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 :)
