    • fabric and crochet pieces

    Step Two

    Cut the pieces for your fabric bag

    from the outside fabric cut:

    • 2- 4 1/2″ x 9 1/2″
    • 2- 2″ x 9 1/2″

    from lining fabric cut:

    • 2- 4 1/2″ x 9 1/2″
    • 2- 2″ x 9 1/2″

    from interfacing cut:

    • 2- 2″ x 9 1/2″

    Step Three

    Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of the 2″ strips of the outside fabric.

    Step Four

    Using 1/4″ seams piece together your bag sides by sewing one 2″ strip to one 4 1/2″ piece, you will end up with 2 outside pieces and 2 lining pieces. On the outside fabric only, press the seam towards the smaller section and topstitch close to the edge.

    Step Five

    Using one lining piece and one outside piece, sandwich your zipper between the two pieces so that your zipper is right side down on the right side of the outside fabric, the lining fabric right side down on top of that. Sew along the edge. Turn the lining to the inside and topstitch close to the zipper. Repeat with the other side.

    Step Six

    With the zipper partially open, place the two sections right sides together, matching the lining pieces and the outside pieces. Sew around the outside edge leaving a small opening for turning in the bottom of the outside piece. Turn right side out and sew the opening closed. That part of the bag will be hidden inside of the crocheted bag so it doesn’t really matter what it looks like, I just sewed it closed with my machine.

    • sewing both together

    Step Seven

    Stitch the fabric bag inside of the crocheted part, it should fit right up to the top band. With coordinating thread hand sew the crochet part onto the fabric bag. Stitch through the top row of crochet stitches, I just made one sewing stitch every other crochet stitch.

    Step Eight

    Once you have stitched all the way around make a few small stitches on the inside of your bag to finish, cut the thread and enjoy your new bag.
