January Sewing Cafe- Pictures!

As promised, the pictures for January Sewing Cafe! 

This month, the project will teach you how to do a 1) French Seam and 2) how to put in a hem.  The bags are washable which is great for sanitizing them and putting them to use for things other than just groceries.

Supplies:

• 1 yard of 44-45" wide cotton fabric for Bag 1 exterior and Bag 2 lining
• 1 1/4 yard of 44-45" wide cotton fabric for Bag 1 lining, Bag 2 exterior, and carrying case
  
  NOTE: the pattern we are going to use is sized to fit Fat Quarters. If you decide to use Fat Quarters, you will need two for each bag lining, two for bag exterior and one for the carrying case.
• scrap of sew-on Velcro
• all purpose thread to match fabric
• Iron and ironing board
• Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
• Seam gauge
• Seam ripper
• Straight pins
• Hand sewing needle

Each bag measures 12"x12"x5"- a great size to hold your groceries or whatever you need a cute bag for. The carrying case is perfect to get the bags at arms reach in your car or purse so you are never without a bag.
