How to make a custom cloth bag

The easiest way to do this and not have to measure anything is go to Jo-Ann's and get the pre-cut quiting squares that are 18x20.

1. You will need two squares per bag.


2. Using the fold lines already in the material from being folded cut 1 fold all the way across.


3. With the small material you just cut of fold the top half way down (wrong side facing wrong side).


4. Do the same to the with the bottom (wrong side facing wrong side)


5. Then where the folds meet fold it in, so the out side edges are fold inside the middle then pin them down. After its all pinned up sew two parallel lines down the center of the strap of material.


6. Take one of the big pieces of material, lay the right side of the material on the table. Fold about 1 to 2 inches down (wrong side touching wrong side, right side exposed). Then pin it down.

7. Grab one of the already sewn strips of material and pin that down to look like a handle (because it is the handle). Sew two parallel lines across all that. Do the same with the other material square, make sure it matches up to the one you just did (handles match up, and brim matches).


8. Lay down one of the squares on the table with the wrong side touching the table. Then lay down the other square over it so it is right side touching right side. Make sure they are aligned perfectly then pin them together. Finally sew the two pieces together and don't forget to double stitch. You don't want it to unravel and everything fall out!(the fold of the right corner is just to show you its right side to right side, do not fold it like that)


Then you have your own custom cloth bag!
