The last weeks I could'nt blog because I was busy sewing
X-Mas gifts and of course I cannot show them here before XMas.
I sewed two bed-quilts and a lot of little presents....

Potatoe bag

2011-07-06T18:33:00.001+02:00

Today I made 4 of these potatoe-bags. I think it's a nice present in the BBQ-season... :-)

2011-07-06T18:25:00.000+02:00

cut 1 piece of fabric for the outside,
cut 1 piece for the inside
and finally 1 piece of batting (thermolam)
all the same size: 10 1/2" X 22"

2011-07-06T18:22:00.000+02:00

2011-07-06T18:20:00.001+02:00

Pin the small sides of the rectangle..

2011-07-06T18:19:00.000+02:00

on both small sides sew the three layers together...

2011-07-06T18:18:00.000+02:00

turn it inside out....

2011-07-06T18:17:00.001+02:00

iron the two seams...

2011-07-06T18:16:00.000+02:00

turn one small side over (3")...

2011-07-06T18:14:00.000+02:00

overlap the small piece with the long piece( 1/2"). Ok, it looks strange, but you have to turn the bag inside out!

2011-07-06T18:11:00.003+02:00

close the two side seams........

2011-07-06T18:11:00.002+02:00

with a narrow zig-zag stitch finish the two sides and turn the bag inside out

2011-07-06T18:09:00.000+02:00

the potatoe bag is done.....

2011-07-06T18:08:00.000+02:00

I made 4 of these bags in less than 2 hours, so it's a fast and easy project...
