This is how you sew the bags:
Cut the following for the respective sizes of the bags:
The large bag: Inner & outer fabric = 50 x 42 cm + 1 cm seam allowance
The small bag: Inner & outer fabric = 40 x 25 cm + 1 cm seam allowance
Cut the fabrics to the above measurements. For a fabric with motifs, like our fabric with the forest animal motifs, make sure that the motifs are shown along the width.
Place the fabrics right sides together on the wide side and sew. Important: The motifs must be upside down when the fabric is unfolded.
Press the seam apart. Unfold the fabric. The seam is now horizontal in front of us and the right side of the fabric can be seen.
Now fold the fabric in half. Sew together all around, leaving a turnaround opening on the wide side of the inner fabric.
Now create the bottom with the inner and outer fabric. To do this, fold the fabric so that the long seam is in the middle and the laces form a check. Now sew along under the laces. For the large bag this seam is 8 cm and for the small bag 6 cm. The laces are then cut about 1 cm along these seams.
The fabric can now be turned over. Close the turning opening by hand or close it with the sewing machine.
Finally, fill the bags and close them with the satin ribbons. Decorated with jingles, they look even more Christmassy and beautiful.
