What you will need:
- durable non-strechy material
- scissors
- sewing machine or needle and thread
- thread of your choosing
- ruler
What to do:
- Lay your fabric out on a clean, solid surface. For a bag measuring 15" x 17" x 7", measure out a rectangle 40" long (this includes the two sides, the bottom, and seam allowance of the bag) by 18"wide (this is the width plus seam allowance).
- Cut out the rectangle you just measured out. Fold each of the long sides in 1/4" and press with an iron. Fold in again another 1/4", press, and sew a 1/4" seam. Do this to the shorter sides also.
- Fold the rectangle in half and mark the middle. From the middle measure out 7" on both sides and mark. Pull these marks towards the center and sew towards the center following the the seam already sewn.
- Sew up the side seams and your bag is finished. You can add ribbon for handles or cut some of your remaining fabric 4 1/2" wide by your desired length. Fold rectangle long ways and sew up the seams with 1/4" allowance. Turn tube inside out, press and sew to your bag.
For extra personality you can use the Screen print post and add a design to the front of your bag.
