- 1). Cut two pieces of material each 9 3/4 inches by 12 inches. Use soft, thicker material for the lining piece.
- 2). Cut one long piece for the strap, about 52 inches long by 5 inches wide.
- 3). Fold each of the three pieces in half with the wrong side up. Use a few pins to hold the fabric in place.
- 4). Sew the sides on all three pieces. You only need to sew one side of the strap.
- 5). Leave the lining as is and turn the strap and the other pouch inside out.
- 6). Insert the lining pouch inside the outer pouch.
- 7). Sew the top edges and sew in the straps and ribbon all at the same time.
- 8). Tuck both edges of the two pouches inside about 1/2 inch and secure with pins.
- 9). Insert the strap ends between the pieces. You may have to take out a few pins and pin again. You shouldn't have to put the straps inside more than 1 inch. Take two pieces of ribbon and position them for the handle.
