Handy Craft Caddie Instructions

From the Quick&Crafty Magazine January 2009

Materials

Sateen Lining, plain

Cotton Fabric, patterned

Piping Cord,12mm jumbo

Carboard, 10cm square

Sewing machine and matching thread.

Steps

1. From Plain lining fabric, cut a rectangle to 36cmX42cm, to form the inner part of the bag.
2. Trim another piece to 18cm X84cm, for the lower pockets and two 12cm squares for the base.
3. From the patterned fabric cut a section to 28cmX84cm, this is for the larger center pockets.
4. Fold and press the two 84cm pieces in half lengthways and place the narrower plain rectangle on top of the patterned section, matching raw edges at the base. Find the center of these and mark with a pin along the base. Locate the mid-point on the 42cm edge of the remaining rectangle and match to the precious marking.
5. Pin the ends pf the folded pieces to the two outer edges of the plain flat section, leaving 1cm allowance at each end; divide the excess fabric into four equal pockets. Each one measuring 10cm wide, with 5cm of fabric either side for 2.5cm pleats.
6. Pin the pleats in place and stitch across the base to secure. Sew between each pocket to hold in place. Match the1cm seam allowance, forming a tube with the pockets inside, and stitch together. Turn to the right side and fold the top edge of the inner rectangle over.
7. Stitch one of the 12cm square to the base of the tub; one pocket should fit along the edge of the square. Stitch with a 1cm seam allowance, clipping into it on each side of the pocket to enable the square to be attached. Stick the remaining fabric square to a piece of cardboard the same size and push into the inside base.
8. Cut a strip of the patterned fabric 6.5cm X 45cm. Fold and press in 1cm each long edge. Place piping cord along the strip and then fold the material over the cord, stitching the two folded edges together close to the piping with a zipper foot. Attach to the bag by sewing the two ends inside two opposite pockets.
