Cut out a piece of fabric twice the length of the bag plus approximately 5cms for the top hems. If you use pinking shears the fabric will not fray
press, and sew a single hem 1cm wide from the top to about 6 cms down
fold and press a 3cms hem at tops & mark with a pin
sew the narrow side hems from the top to the pin
press and sew the top hems
Pin and sew the embellishment on to front (see below)
fold, placing right sides together
sew the side hems from the bottom to just under the top hem (sorry i forgot to take a pic)
trim the excess fabric from bottom corners
sew the lace trimming to the insides at the top
thread cord or ribbon through the top
Once again I printed off the graphic from The Graphics Fairy and transferred it on to the linen using Dylon Image Transfer
The sweet little roses are really easy and you don't need to have any painting experience. This is how I did them using DecoArt So Soft Fabric Paints
Dip a stylus, cocktail stick or brush end - depending on the size you want the rose to be, in to a puddle of red paint and then dot on image
dip the stylus in to white paint, then swirl gently over the red until you get the desired effect. Each rose will look different but that adds to the design
paint small green leaves - they don't have to be perfect to give a nice effect
Please contact me if I have not explained this clearly and I will try and help if I can
