Step 4Almost There - Finishing Touches
Now, to finish up. you need to get the fabric for the back. If you're using padding, etc., cut it to size (the same size as the project).
Put them all together in this order:
1. the games side up, facing you
2. the padding underneath it
3. the backing fabric underneath that, with the nice side facing down (so to test that it's right, hold it all together, looking at the games side then quickly flip it over. you should see nice fabric, not the bad side.)
Pin them together, then sew as straight a seam as possible along the bottom of project. See picture example below. So the seam is opposite to the side near the velcro. Please note: the picture does not show the backing fabric. I did it in a weird order, but for ease, I'm instructing you to do all three together at once.
The next thing to do is roll it up as if it's finished, then either using basting stitches or pen, mark where to sew the corresponding velcro, as in the 2nd picture. You might want to try rolloing it up 3 or 4 times to avereage out a place, maybe even putting all the games in, to make sure the velcro will be in the right place when it's done.
Now sew on the velcro. I only sewed two sides of it, top and bottom. Make sure you're using the right bit of velcro. So if the games side has the hook, make sure the back side uses the fleece.) Also, you're sewing them on top of where you marked the fabric, on the nice side.
If you want to sew on rick rack or ribbon, do it now.
After this, you're going use pins to secure the layers together, pushing it as flat as possible, starting from the center outwards.
Sew the sides and top as straight as you can.
