Little Bags

Step 4 Iron the seams

You will need to iron back the seams to sew the inner lining to the outer fabric.

First trim off the extra fabric on each of the bottom corners of the bags. This helps reduce the amount of extra fabric, which results in sharper corners. See photo.

For the outer bag, fold the edges of the top piece of fabric inwards and iron. Fold the top side of the bag over and around and iron in place. The side seams should remain ironed flat-felled inside the fold. Sew the hem all the way around the top of the bag.

Repeat the trimming, folding, ironing and hemming for the inner bag.
