Janome Supplies Required
- Janome Sewing Machine
- Ultra Glide Foot
Fabric and Notions Required
Fabrics and Notions Required:
- Scissors
- Thread
- 1/2 yard woven fabric (will yield two bags)
- (2) 3″ x 22″ strips of neoprene
- Cord or ribbon for drawstring
Instructions
- Along one long edge of the fabric place the strip of neoprene.
- Use a triple zig zag stitch to stitch the neoprene and fabric together. If your fabric has a wrong side, this should be stitched right sides down with the neoprene covering the raw edge.
- Fold the neoprene in half covering the raw edge of the fabric and use the same zig zag stitch down the casing.
- Fold the fabric in half and stitch from below casing to the end of fabric. Then you’ll pivot and close the bottom of the bag.
- Turn right side out and use a large safety pin to pull the cord through the casing and knot at the ends.
