Steps (8 steps, 120 minutes)

1
First step is choose the kind of material you want to use, I choose this nice pink cherry colour - How much you need depends on how big you want your bag so its totally up to you :)

The next thing that I did, was take the longest side of fabric that I had and cut a piece about 14cm wide, then set this aside. This will become the strap- so again if you wish for a different size cut the width double to what you want the end product to be!!

Next you need to cut out the actual bag, for mine I cut about 28cm wide (including seam allowance)- then fold in half right sides together
-
4
Once you have your sides facing each other, pin or in my case peg along, then sew up each side as many times as you want
-
5
Now sew along the top of each side to create a neat edge
-

For the strap you need to fold in half, right sides together and sew all the way down and across the top OR bottom- but don't sew up both edges!
-
7
Now you will have to pull the strap through so its right side out!

Last step is to sew the strap on the inside of the bag - where the seam is and make sure you go over it more then once for extra strength- then you are done! Flip it right side out and decorate with lace, ribbon, buttons or anything else you can imagine!
