Spoil Mom on Mother’s day with this easy cosmic bag. The
felt applique is easy to custom make to suit your mother’s personality.
Materials
- 60 cm x 40 cm cotton fabric
- 60 cm x 40 cm oil cloth
- 30 cm zipper
- Felt remnants
- Matching embroidery cotton, ribbon remnant for tag, approximately 5 cm, general sewing materials
Method
- Refer to the pattern and cut out two 30 cm x 20 cm cotton rectangle
for the outside of the bag and two 30 cm x 20 cm oil cloth for the lining.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Decorate the one cotton rectangle with felt applique and
embroidery stitches.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Insert the zipper along the 30 cm length of the bag by
sewing it between the cotton and oilcloth fabrics. Turn right side out and top
stitch along the end of the zipper.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Fold the pieces cotton side together and pin in place. Trim the edges to ensure that the rectangle is square.
- Open the zipper until halfway ensuring that the fabric does not shift. Fold the ribbon in half and place it between the two oil cloth pieces facing inwards as close a possible to the open part of the zipper. Sew the three remaining edges together capturing both cotton and oil cloth and also the ribbon. Trim the edges neatly and overlock or zig-zag the edges with matching cotton.
- Open zipper completely and remove pins.
- To create a broader base for the bag, fold the first side edge open and press it towards the stitching line of the bottom edge. Ensure that the stitching of both edges meets perfectly. Pin in place. Repeat with the other side edge. Measure 5 cm from the bottom corner of the bag along the aligned stitching and mark with a pin. Repeat for the other corner. Draw a line at the 5 cm mark at right angles to the aligned stitching. Stitch along this line. Turn the bag right side out. And check that the bag is symmetrical at the base. If all is in order, turn the bag wrong side out again and trim the created triangle 1 cm from the stitching. Overlock or zigzag the edges with matching cotton.
- Turn the bag right side out to complete. Fill the cosmetic
bag with treats for mom.
