A bag sewn with cotton yarn from felt. With fitted Belt Buckles from faux leather and metal.
It makes the sewing easier and it looks a lot nicer if you measure up for the stitches. Use the fine black marker pen for marking all the cut-out parts. Put the first mark cm from the edge (seam allowance). From the mark, measure 1cm between each stitch. This results in a lovely and even result. Sew with buttonhole stitches.
Use a fine black marker pen when drawing the templates onto the felt.
Cut out the parts.
Mark on the felt where to sew the stitches: Picture 3A and 3B: this is how to sew buttonhole stitches. Picture 3C: Secure the cotton yarn.
Fasten the pocket temporarily to prevent it from sliding when sewing. Remove the threads afterwards.
Sew on the side parts. Start with the edge at the top.
The side parts are now sewn on.
Remove the temporary stitches from the pocket.
Sew on the pocket in the base. Only sew through the top layer of the felt so the sewing is not visible from the front.
Fold over the end and sew the other side. Start from the top.
