I have been on a sewing kick lately and wanted to share these cute snack bags that I made. They are quick, easy and you can coordinate them with any theme that you want. I followed this tutorial and here is the finished product:
Materials:
Fabric (one print for outside and another for liner)
Velcro
Sewing machine
Rotary cutter
Scissors
Iron
Pins
Corner turner
Directions:
1. Pre-wash and iron your fabric
2. Cut 4 pieces of fabric 7″ by 6.5″ with a rotary cutter
{two pieces for the outside and two pieces for the liner}
3. Cut two pieces of Velcro 6″ each
4. Place one piece of Velcro 1/2″ from the top of the right side of your liner fabric. Pin and sew in place.
5. Place liner fabric and outside fabric together (right sides together). Pin and sew 1/4″ from the top {the edge that the Velcro is attached to}
6. Open the seams and iron flat. Ironing seams always makes your product look more professional.
Repeat steps 4-6 with the other two pieces of fabric
7.Attach the Velcro together, making sure that it is lined up and straight.
8. Pin the two liner pieces together and sew on three sides, leaving a 1/4″ seam allowance.
{Do not sew the side that the Velcro is attached to.}
9.Place the two outside pieces together (right sides together) and sew around the three sides {not the side with the Velcro}, leaving a 1/4″ seam allowance.
LEAVE A 2″ HOLE AT THE BOTTOM TO TURN YOUR FABRIC.
{this is actually a picture of the liner pieces being sewn together but its the same for the outside too, except leave a hole at the bottom}.
10. Trim your corners at and angle and turn your fabric right side out. Use a corner turner
{or in my case, a blunt pencil} to poke out your corners and make them crisp.
11. Sew the bottom of the bag using the sewing machine or a slip stitch.
I love these bags and plan on making many more. They make perfect gifts too.
