How to Make a Quilted Make-up Bag
/ How to Sew a Quilted Make-up Bag
Depending on the fabric you decide on you can
make your handmade quilted make-up bag look just like a Vera
Bradley Make-Up Bag. Pick colors that coordinate and look well together. |
| |
 |
First you will need to make
yourself a pattern.
Fold a computer size piece of paper in half
and cut on your fold line. Using one of the pieces of paper mark your
pattern with the following words: You will need a "Fold Line" mark on the
8 1/2" side. The other 3 sides can just have a thick cutting line. Write
"Make-up Bag" on your pattern piece, and write "Cut one on fold for
fabric, muslin, and quilt batting."
The other piece of paper can be your
pattern piece for the make-up bag lining. Write on that piece, "Cut 2 of
lining". There is no need for a fold line for your lining.
|
 |
Cut out your fabric, muslin,
batting, and lining, according to the directions on your pattern pieces.
Make sure where the fold line is that your fabric is folded there and you
do NOT cut there. Sandwich the quilt
batting in between the muslin and the fabric. Place the fabric PRETTY SIDE
UP. |
 |
Quilt the three layers
together anyway you would like. I have my new students quilt
diagonal lines as you can see in the photo. |
 |
Cut a strip of color
coordinating fabric 3" X 12". Press each long side 1/4" to the ugly
side of the fabric as shown in the photo. |
 |
Pin the strip in place down
the long center of the PRETTY SIDE of the bag as shown in the photo.
Top stitch along each side of the strip of
fabric to hold in place. |
 |
Pin one of the lining pieces
to one short side of the bag. Straight stitch using the pressure foot as
your guide. |
 |
Do the same to the other side.
This is what your bag will look like when
spread out. |
 |
Fold the bag PRETTY SIDES
TOGETHER in half by placing the two linings together. Pin around the bag.
Leave a 4" opening where the linings are
together. This opening is so that you can turn your bag later.
Do not stitch at the fold.
Stitch around the sides and top of the bag.
DO NOT FORGET TO LEAVE YOUR OPENING! |
 |
This next step is for the bow.
You can use ribbon for this next step or make your own. If you are using
ribbon just make a bow and hand sew it onto the center of the bag.
Cut an 8"X2" strip of fabric for the bow. Fold
the strip 3 times to create a small skinny ribbon. Stitch down the center.
Make a bow and hand stitch to the center of the bag. |
 |
Add Velcro to the center
inside of the bag as your closure. |
 |
Your MAKE-UP BAG is done! |
