Assembly Directions for Making An Insulated Lunch Sack
Continued From Make An Insulted Lunch Bag
| Prepare all the fabric as described on Page 1 |
 |
| Using 1/2" seams, sew the side piece on to the large fabric piece, turning the corners at the blue pattern markings that are 3" apart. Leave the needle down and realign the fabric side with the large fabric piece. Repeat for both sides and the lining. |
 |
| Repeat for both sides and the lining. |
 |
On the fashion fabric bag, find the center front of the non-flap edge (on the right side of the fabric), measure down 1 1/2" from the raw edge and stitch the tape into place.
On the lining sack, find the center of the flap edge (on the finished seam side which will be the inside of the bag), measure 1" from the raw edge and stitch the tape into place. |
 |
| Without turning the bags, place the lining inside the fashion fabric bag. Match the seams and corners. |
 |
| Leave the area between the red pattern markings open and stitch ,using 1/2" seams, the two layers together. Leave the needle down to pivot on corners. |
 |
| Clip inside corners and trim out side corners. |
 |
| Using the area you left open in the top of the bag, turn both layers to the right side out. |
 |
| Take care to push out all corners and put the lining into the bag. Press the open area seam allowances under and slip stitch. Top stitch the entire top of the bag, pivoting at corners. |
 |
| Tuck the top sides in towards the middle and close the sack. |
 |
| Tips and Pointers..
Keep all your seam allowances an even distance so that your lining fits your fabric bag perfectly.
I attempted using the fusible vinyl on one bag. I found that due to the amount of turning and squashing to turn the bag, that the vinyl ended up with a lot of wrinkles and white marks.
Make a matching Can Wrap for juice and drink boxes.
Use plain fabric for the exterior of the bag and personalize it with Machine Embroidery or Applique.
