Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beginner Serging: Machine Basics & Techniques »

Instructions

I took the time to preview the lesson before starting out which helped immensely. I went back to reference while constructing the bag. Although not perfect I've got it figured out so the next one will be better. I was trying to do this with the closed captioning which is backwards. I'll just get speakers for the next one so I don't confuse myself!

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Cute


Materials

Cotton from my stash of musical prints

What was your inspiration?

I saw the bag featured on the class offering. I was excited that I could possibly make this! Plus, I was determined to get to know how to fully use my serger.

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud that I did not give up and have gone on to make more of these bags.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go over the whole lesson before starting anything. Measure twice, reference the video if in doubt. I think Amy's directions are awesome. I learned a lot of nifty tricks - especially turning those tabs inside out!

Thanks! The fabric was from Joanns - a fat quarter pack I bought years ago. the insides are from there also - i always look in the novelty prints for music related material. Have fun making one!
