hi it's Alyssa from online fabric store
today I'm going to show you how to make
an origami bag this simple design makes
a great salty purse or a beach bag so
let's get started the materials you will
need are an outer fabric I'm using
covington venus charcoal fabric
broadcloth for the inner lining and for
the handle pins or clips thread scissors
a ruler an iron and board and a sewing
machine cut rectangles out of your outer
fabric and inner lining broadcloth they
should be three times as long as they
are wide the pieces I'm cutting are 15
by 45 inches cut two pieces out of your
strap broadcloth that are four times as
wide as you would like your shop to be
the pieces I will be cutting are 6 by 30
inches
fold the strap edges in so they meet at
the center of the strap and iron fold
one of the short edges in about a half
of an inch and press now fold the whole
strap in half and iron sew around all
four edges of the strap
pin together the outer fabric and the
broad cloth with right sides facing
insert the straps in between the two
layers on the top right and bottom left
corners of the bag there should be about
an inch sticking out from the sides of
the bag clip them in place sew around the
edge of the rectangle with a quarter
inch seam allowance leave a space that
is large enough to flip it right side
out at each of the straps so
perpendicular to the strap about two
inches into the body of the bag flip the
rectangle right-side out fold in the
seam of the opening and sew it down
with the outer fabric facing up fold the
top left and bottom right corners to the
opposite sides making a 45-degree angle
out of the corners with the straps now
fold the center square diagonally so the
right side is across from the left this
should create two right angles along the
bottom of the bag take the seams that
are along the back and front side of the
bag and pin them with right sides facing
sew down both seams also sew
perpendicular to each of the 90-degree
corners about two inches up the bag cut
away the extra fabric
flip the bag right side out
you can tie the straps to any link you
want whether you want it to be and
across the body bag or a shoulder bag
this bag can be made with any broad
cloth or a heavy weight fabric
combination and can be made in two
different sizes thanks for watching this
