Laura's ruffle bag.

I am very excited to write my first tutorial ever! !I am very happy 
because this is one blog that  I just LOVE! Thank you Samm!!!
( I would like to tell you now English is not my  mother tongue , but Samm 
helped me. Thank you ) Now we can move forward. 

First of all, I would like you to know that this project was not
created by me. Many people make them here in Brazil. 
This was the first sewing project I learned.On a very lazy afternoon,
in Santos, my hometown, Paula, my sister-in-law taught me how to sew it.
 It was the beginning of my passion for sewing, patchwork and quilting.
It is very simple and the result is very beautiful.You can use it to
 hold jewelry,or sewing notions or whatever you desire!\
I know Samm has ordered 2 of them from me..her photos are below...

I hope you all have fun! Thanks Samm for this wonderful opportunity!.
Ok, are you ready? 

This is what you will need.. Since Samm's whole campaign is
 in Orange, I thought it would be nice to have something to match. 



Material needed:
40 cm  focus fabric  16 inches
40 cm lining fabric  16 inches
1,50m silk cord  5 feet approx. 
charms for embellishment


Patterns:


2 half circles:A: one with 35 cm diameter 14 inch in diameter
                   B: one with 26 cm diameter 10 inch in diameter
                   C:1 circle with 9,5 cm diameter 3.75 inches
(C circle: trace with a pencil  on the center of the bag,after all other lines have been sewn, and stitch on this line.This will create an 'end' for the pockets and also keep the bag nice and flat.)

Cutting instructions.

Focus fabric: trace patterns A and B on folded fabric,cut leaving 1/2" sewing allowance
Lining fabric: do the same




Pair up lining and focus fabrics and sew them  right sides together



Do it with A and B

Cut 5cm ( 2 inches) on the lining fabric in the center of the circles.
This is where you will turn your circles right side out.



Press the pieces well.
If you want, I did, choose a cute stitch of you machine and sew
 around both circles.It makes the pieces flat and gives the work a nice touch.


On circle B, the small one, trace 4 lines using a disappearing pen.



Place the small circle on top of the big one, centering it. 
.And sew on the traced lines so that they are now attached .




Sew 2 paralel lines,around 1cm from each other,around the small
 circle.This is where you will pass the cord in.



By hand, make a buttonhole on opposite sides of the bag,between the 2 stitched lines.



Cut the cord in 2 and pass through the holes one in each side.
Finish it with a charm for embellishment.



Ta dah!!!! pull your strings  and fill your pretty bag with your most valuable treasures!!!


Do you like it ...I KNOW someone who loves it..
Can you guess her name? 


Here are some of Samm's Bags that I made for her.
( she really makes me laugh with her photos) 

 This was the first one she ordered..very soft
and pink...it looks very nice here.

This one she just received  last week...
she wanted red and white...I love how she made it look so beautiful. 

I hope this inspires YOU to make one too. I would love to see
what yours will look like..
Thank you Madame Samm and all of you here today

  33. Thanks for sharing such a great tutorial! You did a wonderful job & everything is crystal clear! Which is more than I can say for the last tutorial I used to figure these bags out. Your method is a lot easier than what I was doing (and not doing very successfully either). I can see lots of uses for these little bags!

    ResponderExcluir
  42. I haven't seen very many of these bags here in the US - but I have one, given to me by a Brazilian family member - and it's great for keeping necklaces separate when traveling.

    ResponderExcluir
  43. Hello laura - lovely bight colours for your bags. I make lots of them, in faux velvet, satins, and cottons for jewellery bags, evening bags, and such. Never thought of them for sewing supplies - what a good idea. I find I do the buttonholes for the drawstring cords the quick way - by machine, and I always do them first, before stitching the circles together. Makes it easier for me.

  44. Great tutorial. I'm going to make several for my 3year old granddaughter, she will just love them.

    ResponderExcluir
