ting in place, through all layers, along all four
sides, about " (6 mm) from the edge.
8Fold the Lining piece (13" x 59 " [33 x
152 cm]) in half widthwise to nd the center
point and mark on both raw edges. Unfold it and
place it at in front of you, right side up. Measure
and mark 1" (2.5 cm) to the left and to the right
of each center mark (figure 3). These marks will
indicate the placement of 2" (5 cm) gaps to be
left open when completing the next step.
9Flip the Shell over so that it is right side
up, and place the Lining piece on top, right
side down (right sides together). Pin in place
along both long edges and the short edge at
the front (embellished side) of the bag. Begin
sewing along the pinned edges, being sure to
leave the marked 2" (5 cm) segments open
and free of stitching; to do this, sew along
the edge until you come to the rst mark
and backtack, then lift the needle, skip over
the 2" (5 cm), lower the needle, and continue
stitching. Leave the short edge at the bag
back open as well. Trim the seam allowances
to " (6 mm) and clip the corners at the bag
front, then turn the bag right side out through
the open end, pushing out the corners with a
point turner. Press the edges well to prepare
for topstitching.
0Topstitch the same three sides of the bag
just sewn, " (6 mm) from the edge (leaving
the short, open edge at the bag front and the
2" [5 cm] gaps free of stitching, as before).
-To create the front pouch, fold the bag along
the bag front fold line, with wrong (lining) sides
together, and pin along both side seams, begin-
ning 2" (6.5 cm) below the short edge. Topstitch
the pinned sides " (6 mm) from the nished
edges, beginning where the pinning began,
2" (6.5 cm) below the short edge. Position the
topstitching directly on the previous topstitching.
Repeat the entire step to create the back pouch,
pinning and then stitching the sides seams 3"
(7.5 cm) below the short edge (the tops of the
two pouches will overlap each other slightly).
MAKE THE FLAP
=Lay the two triangular Flap pieces with
right sides together, and place the triangular
batting on top. Stitch the two diagonal sides,
leaving the 13" (33 cm) base side open. Trim
the seam allowances to " (6 mm), trimming
closer at the point to reduce bulk. Turn right
side out, using a point turner to push out a
sharp point; press. Topstitch " (6 mm) from
the two nished edges.
qFold the top (open) edges of the lined
wool back pouch to the wrong (lining) side
" (1.3 cm), and press. Insert the Flap "
(1.3 cm) deep into the opening of the back
pouch and pin together. (The widest part of the
Flap should align with outside edges of the
pouch.) Topstitch " (6 mm) from the pressed
pouch edge through all layers to close the
opening and secure the Flap.
w Sew the button to the ap, close
to the point.
MAKE THE STRAP
eFold the Main fabric Strap in half length-
wise, wrong sides together, and press. Unfold
the Strap and lay it on a at surface, with the
wrong side facing up. On one side, place the
interfacing Strap piece between the center
crease and the raw edge and pin in place. Ma-
chine baste the interfacing in place, along the
long raw edge of the Strap, about " (6 mm)
from the edge.
r Flip the Strap over so that the right side
is facing up. Measure 12" (30.5 cm) from one
short edge and mark. Using the same small
plate or bowl used to create the Appliqu,
draw two side-by-side sets of partial concen-
tric circles on the interfaced side of the Strap,
between the center crease and the raw edge.
Handstitch the drawn lines with a running
stitch as before.
tPlace the 1" (2.5 cm) wide ribbon on top of
the Strap, positioning it across the width (so
that raw edges are matched), between the

two sets of concentric circles (the ribbon may
overlap the edges of the circles depending
on their placement). Topstitch the ribbon in
place,
1
8" (3 mm) from each long edge of the
ribbon.
yTurn the Strap back over so that the wrong
side is facing up. Pin and then machine baste
the batting to one side of the Strap, as in
Step 15. Fold the Strap in half lengthwise,
with right sides together, along the original
center crease; pin and then sew on all three
open edges, leaving a 10" (25.5 cm) gap in the
middle of the long edge. Trim the seam allow-
ances to " (6 mm) and clip the corners.
uCarefully turn the Strap right side out
through the center gap. (Because the Strap is
made of heavy materials and not very wide,
this can be challenging. Use a large chopstick
or the end of a long, narrow wooden spoon
to help you push the fabric through the gap
without tearing the stitching.) When you have
turned the Strap right side out, turn in the
seam allowances at the gap, and press (use
caution when pressing the wool and use a
damp pressing cloth and the appropriate iron
setting to protect your wool fabric). Topstitch
" (6 mm) from each long edge.
iInsert one end of the Strap into each 2"
(5 cm) opening in the bag, inserting the ends
about " (1.3 cm) into the openings, between
the Shell and the Lining. Make sure that the
Strap isnt twisted, then pin the Strap ends
in place. Topstitch along the openings, "
(6 mm) from the bag edge, in line with the
original topstitching on the side seams.
