Reversible bag - - 1

Hi friends, I have stitched a reversible bag of two clothes used alternatively.
For the body I have taken cloth 19"wide and 10"long.I have taken 2 of each cloth.
    For the Patti I took a cloth 4" wide and 13" long. Take two Pattis of each colour.
Next for the handles take 20" long and  3 1/2" wide.

Fold in half, the body and Patti along the width. Iron and get Centre line crease.                     Place the body and Patti right side facing each other and match the Centre crease.

Make two pleats to match the width of both clothes. 

Now repeat the same procedure for the other half also. 

The other side of the bag. 

Now the handles. Make a centre crease along the length and open up the fold. Now fold the two edges till the centre crease and place the two on top of each other and stitch to get the handles. 

Now place the two sides of the bag of alternate design right side facing one another. Place the handle in between these two sides. Pin them to maintain position and stitch along the upper edge of the Patti. 

Repeat for both sides. 

This is how the right side will look. 

 

Repeat for the other side too.

Now open both sides and place right side facing each other. Keep the handles away from the edges. Stitch along the outer edge and leave a small gap on one side to put your hand in to pull out the bag and handles. 

Stitch along the open edge folding the raw edges inside.
