Mori Girl/Sweet and Natural Styled Tote Bag Tutorial





Embroidery

This is step 2 of the basic tutorial.

If you’re using fabric that might end up looking a bit too “flat” pattern-wise, you can add some 3D effect with bead or sequin embroidery. Just don’t forget to close up the stitches every now and then and to go with the needle through the bead or sequin several times to secure the beads or sequins in place; and to prevent the whole work from being destroyed in case the thread snaps.



Easy inner pockets

This is step 3 of the basic tutorial.

I) Cut squares or rectangles from the same fabric you’re using for the bag with 0,5 in/1,5 cm seam allowance. The size depends on the objects you plan to put there - I suppose it’s gonna be your phone, lipstick, pen, handkerchief etc. Serge the edges.

 


II) Iron down the seam allowance (towards the wrong side). Sew the upper side of the pockets to secure the ironed seam allowance. Pin the pockets on the piece cut from lining. The individual sections are created simply but sewing not only through the remaining 3 sides you haven’t sewn before, but also by sewing lines parallel to the left and right sides of the pockets.

To vyšívání bylo skutečně peklo - trvalo mi to neuvěřitelně dlouho a bolela mě bříška prstů jako už dlouho ne. Ale nakonec se mi taška líbí, připadá mi taková romantická a dívčí až roztomilá, ale nikoliv infantilní. 

Návod na tuto tašku najdete v Poisoned Alice.
