  • Hi lovelies,

    I'm so excited to share with you something new for the blog this month....the Companion Carpet bag sew along!

    I've been a fan of Reece from Happy Okapi for a while now, and I've been blown away by the previous sew alongs she's done. So we've had a chat and Reece is going to do a sew along for the Companion carpet bag, right here on the blog this month!

  • A big hello from Reece at Happy Okapi! I'm so excited Samantha has asked me over for this Sew-Along.  If you've joined me in a Sew-Along before, you're probably familiar with my organization style, but I'll lay it anyway for everyone.
    • Day 1 (that's today!) I like to do all the prep work, including fabric selection, gathering of supplies, cutting, and fusing/basting.
    • Day 2 Here is where I prefer to get all the fussy work out of the way, like pockets, piping, and zippers if possible. 
    • Day 3 Final assembly!! We take all our pieces and put them together to make our gorgeous bags!! (The extra exclamation marks are because this is my favourite part, and I get soooo excited about it)

  • Let's make the zippered pocket! Take one main lining panel and your interfaced zipper pocket piece and place the pocket piece right side down on the right side of the main lining panel, with short edge of pocket piece 1/2" from bottom edge of main panel for small bag, and 2" from bottom edge of main panel for large bag, pin in place. On the wrong side of the zipper panel, draw a box that is about 6" by 1/2" (the length will be determined by your zipper size). The box should be centred side to side, and approximately 6" from the bottom of the zipper panel for the small bag and 6.5" from the bottom of the zipper panel for the large bag.

  • We left off at Day 2 with assembling the exterior bag and adding the purse feet.  If you haven't already cut the frame channels, you can do that now after measuring the upper perimeter of the exterior of the bag. As the pattern indicates, for woven fabric, divide the perimeter by 2 and add 1/2" to find the length to cut for each frame channel. Turn and press a 1/4" hem on a short edge of a frame channel, turn and press 1/4" again, and stitch in place. Repeat for other short end of frame channel and both short ends of remaining channel. Now fold each frame channel in half, length wise, wrong sides together. If you're using a snap tab, refer to pattern to add it now.
