School Kit bag pattern
Materials needed:
1/2 yd “Kid-friendly” Fabric
Make the bag:
- Cut two pieces of fabric 13” X 17”
- Place the two pieces together, right sides together, and sew a 1/2” seam down one side, across the bottom, and up the other side, leaving the top open.
- Turn the bag so the seam is in the inside.
- Turn under 1/2” on the top edge and press.
- Turn under 2” at the top edge to form a hem and stitch.
Make the handles:
- Cut two pieces of fabric 4” X 22”
- Fold in half one of the 4” X 22” pieces with right sides together. Stitch with a 1/2” seam allowance and turn inside out, or turn under and press 1/2” on long side of fabric. Fold wrong sides together. Top stitch close to edge. Press.
- Repeat for the second handle. Press.
- Turn under raw edges and stitch to the top of the bag.
Finished bag will be approximately 12” X 14”. Place school items in bag. Canvas tote bags can also be used. Inexpensive canvas bags are available at area craft and discount stores or can be found online. | |
