3 Add a line Bag 40m Instructions from

tread https://so-sew-easy.com/simplest-way-line-bag-kind/

Stuff the exterior of your bag ​into​ the lining. They'll be ​right sides
together. \

1. Tuck your straps down into the bag, and pin them in
place. The raw edges of your straps should be flush to
the top raw edge of your bag. You should be able to look
down into your bag and see the ​wrong side​ of the
exterior.
2. Pin around the top of the bag, through all layers.
3. Leave yourself a 76.2-127 opening, and place a pin
parallel to the top of the bag there.
4. Beginning at the end of the pin you placed parallel, sew
a 5/8″ seam around the top of the bag and stop at the
beginning of the pin.
5. You'll now have a small opening.
6. Trim your seam allowance to 6.35, leaving the seam
allowance intact at the opening. Watch out for pins! You'll
have a few pins holding your strap or handles in place.
7. Reach into the opening of the bag and grab the lining.
8. Pull the lining through the opening, and keep pulling until
you also pull the exterior through the opening.
9. Keep pulling until you've pulled all the fabric through the
opening and have something that resembles a long tube,
with your lining on one side and the exterior of your bag
on the other side.
10. Now, tuck the lining of the bag down ​into ​the exterior of
your bag so that you have something that resembles a
normal tote!
11. Press the opening that you pulled your bag through,
closed and pin it.
12. Press around the entire top of the bag. Next, topstitch
around the top of your bag, through the lining and the
exterior a scant 6.35 from the edge.
13. Trim your ​threads​, gently poke out the corners of your
bag, and you're done!

4 Sew on a Button tread 20 m Instruction from 

pocket https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/pocket-t-shirt-diy 
1.Wash your shirt and fabric before you begin this craft. You do 
not want either your T-shirt or fabric shrinking or bleeding and 
ruining all your hard work 
2.Make your pocket pattern. On a piece of paper and using a 
ruler, draw a 127 x 127 square. From the bottom center of your 
square, draw a 25.4 line down. From the edges of the square on 
the bottom side, draw a line on each side connecting to that 
center line (these lines will be 63.5 long). You should now have a 
pattern that looks like the picture below. 
3.Cut out your pocket. Pin your pattern to the fabric you’re using 
to make the pocket. Cut the fabric out to match the pattern.

4.Fold the seams for your pocket. Fold the sides of your fabric 
between 6.35 and 12.7. Fold the sides and bottom of the pocket 
first. Fold the top of the pocket last; this fold should be ½” to 1”. 
Pin each of these folds down 
5.Iron all the folds in place. Using your iron, iron down all the 
folds. Remove the pins as necessary. 
6. 
Sew the hem at the top of your pocket. This will be the part of 
your pocket that remains open. 
7.Place your pocket on your T-shirt. Put on your T-shirt and pin 
the pocket to the location you want it. Take the T-shirt with the 
pocket off. Laying the T-shirt and pocket flat, move the pocket 
around slightly to make sure it’s on straight. Pin the pocket down 
for sewing. Do not put pins through both sides of the shirt. Make 
sure your pins are only pinning the pocket to the front side of the 
shirt. 
8.Sew the pocket to the T-shirt. Make sure you only have the 
pocket and front side of the T-shirt under your machine. You do 
not want to sew the pocket through both sides of the T-shirt. 
Start on one side of the pocket and sew around the edge of the 
pocket. Get as close to the edge of the fabric as you can. For the 
corners, lift the foot and leave the needle in. Rotate the fabric the 
necessary amount. Continue sewing until you reach the other 
side in the pocket. Your pocket should be sewn on with one 
continuous seam. Do not sew the top of the pocket shut! 
9.Enjoy your pocket T-shirt! 

5 Sew on a button Button 30m 1

Tread Choose your button and thread. Select a suitable button
and thread that matches the button, the garment, and any
thread used to sew on other buttons. If you like, you can
double the thread to make this job quicker.

2
Thread the needle. Simply pull the thread through the
needle so that there is an equal length of thread extending
from both sides.

3
Tie a knot at the end of the thread. One way to tie a knot
is to wrap the thread around your finger as shown, roll the
thread between your fingers, and pull it tight. If you
doubled the thread, tie the ends together. Leave a long
tail of thread, whether you are doubling the thread or
using a single thread to sew the button.

4
Position the button on the fabric. Line the button up with
the other buttons on the garment. Also check the
buttonhole. Close the opposite flap or panel where you
want it and make sure that the button lines up with the
buttonhole.

5
Push the threaded needle up through the fabric and
through one hole in the button. Pull the thread all the way
through on each stitch
6
Place a straight pin. Place a straight pin beneath the button, between the stitch you have made
and where the next stitch will go, in order to keep the button from being stitched too tight. Then,
push the needle down through the next hole and through the fabric. Pull the thread all the way
through. It's best to hold the button in place so it does not move.

7
Restart the process. Bring the needle up through the first hole
again and pull the thread all the way through the fabric

8​ S​trengthen the button. Repeat the sewing process enough

times to make sure the button is securely in place.

9On the last stitch, push the needle through the material, but not
through a hole in the button.

10
Remove the straight pin.

11

Wrap the thread.​ Wrap the thread six times around the
thread between the button and the material to reinforce
the shank you have created.

12

Push the needle back down through the material.

13

Make three or four stitches to secure the thread. Make a

few stitches below the button, going back and forth to
make them strong. Tie this thread off.

_Tutorial_Step_by_Step

STEP 1: KNOT THE THREAD 

First, start by knotting your thread. 

If you are using a regular thin thread then thread it double. 

For a thicker embroidery floss like my sample, I just threaded it 

single and knotted one end. 

STEP 2: FIRST STITCH 

Put the needle down through the fabric (position 1) and bring it 
up 1/4 inch (6mm) away (position 2).  

Pull the thread through up to the knot at the end. This is exactly 
the same as sewing a ​running stitch​. 

\​Step 1 and 2: Backstitch 

How long should your stitches be?  

The distance of the stitches depends on you. For best results 

make as small a stitch as you can. 

You might choose 1/4 (6mm) long stitches the first time you 
practice your backstitch and aim for 1/8 inch (3mm) stitches after 

6/9
Design Folder Sustainable Design - Jane Doe (7DET8)

a few completed projects. 

Finer fabrics will require smaller stitches than thicker fabrics such 
as denim. When I need to sew really small stitches I use my craft 
magnifying lamp to make them extra neat. 

This is probably a little excessive for most projects but when I’m 
photographing my work up close, I want to impress you! Just do 
your best! Even if the stitches look a little uneven and wonky they 
will be really strong. 

STEP 3: STITCH BACKWARDS 

Take a small backstitch in the fabric inserting the needle ​in the 
same place you started​. (Position 3 which is the same as position 
1) 

Because this is our first stitch, this means we will be inserting the 
needle at the knot. 

Bring the needle up in front of the next stitch at an equal 

distance at the position 4. 

If your first stitch was 1/4 inch (6mm) then this means you will 
bring the needle up 1/4 inch in front of the second stitch. 

Try and keep the stitches straight and in line. 

If you need really neat stitching you could even measure and 
mark equal distances with a ruler. Don’t forget, the smaller your 
stitches the stronger the seam will be. 

\​Step 3: Backstitch 
STEP 4: PULL NEEDLE THROUGH 

Pull the needle through to reveal your very first back stitch! 

Step 4: Backstitch 
STEP 5: REPEAT 

Repeat all the way along your seam until you reach the end. This 
means placing the needle in at first stitch and up at an equal 
distance from the second stitch. 

My stitches went a little crooked in the middle but you can 

prevent that by drawing a line along the seam with chalk before 
you start. 

If you are sewing a hand seam then it doesn’t matter if it is not 

perfectly straight, but for embroidery, you would want it to look

as neat as possible. 

Backstitches 
ALTERNATIVES TO BACKSTITCH

If you are having trouble with the back and forth motion of 
backstitch, then substitute a running stitch. This is the easiest 
hand stitch you could ever learn and is a simple up and down 
motion. While not quite as strong, if you take small stitches you 
will still get a great result. 

Here you can see how running stitch looks different to backstitch. 
Notice the gaps between stitches in the running stitch.
