Little Bags for kids, gifts and halloween – Cut and Sew Project

The cut and sew panels for the small bags (25cm) are just as easy to sew as the larger shopping or gift bags (39cm) version.
However, I think it’s cute for the little ones to have their own bags for various occasions. Whether as a kids shopping bag, a reusable gift bag, a matching school bag, or with Halloween designs for collecting candy.

That’s why I already have several bag designs available at Lillestoff.

Benötigte Materialien:

• 1 Panel for 2 bags (eg. Monsterbags Panel) choose cotton or canvas
• Sewing thread

How to sew the bags

Cut out the pieces along the outer seam allowance. Some designs have a dotted line as a sewing guide, while others simply require you to sew along the inner edge of the seam allowance.

Handles:

Fold the handles in half lengthways, fold the seam allowances inwards on the longer sides and topstitch close to the edges.

Trim:
Fold one seam allowance of the long sides of each trim strip and topstitch along the edge.

Finish the bag:
Pin one handle approx. 8 cm to the left and right of the side seams on the front and back piece, place a trim strip on top – right sides together – and sew along the seam line. Fold the trim outwards.

Sew the two pieces together, finish the edges, reverse the bag, fold the trim inwards and topstitch along the upper edge.

Tip: You may want to sew twice on seams that have to withstand more – eg. bottom of the bag and handles.

And just like that, one bag is finished. And the second one is sewn in no time.

Have fun sewing and if you post your sewing projects from my designs on Instagram, I would be happy if you tag me @andreamuehlbauer. I will love share your post in my story.
