You Will Need (4 things)

  • 4 yd -1/2 inch Double Fold Bias Tape
  • 1 ¼ yd - 1 Inch Cotton Twill
  • ¾ yd - 1 yard Sturdy fabric (duct or heavy Twill , denim)
  • 2 D Ring(s)

Steps (5 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut the fabric as shown:

  2. 2

    Sew the bias tape on the small pocket first.

    Press 1/4 inch of the sides and bottom of pocket.

    Place the pocket on long piece (Part A), face down with bottom edge 2 inches from the edge and sew.

  3. 3

    Flip over and top stitch sides. Then sew another line of stitching about 1/3 of the way in to make 2 pockets within the pocket.

    Sew bias tape on top of Part A.

  4. 4

    Next pin Parts A and B together lining up the bottom edge with the right sides showing.

    Pin the top corner of Part B sides to match Part A.

    Fold the excess fabric in from the sides at an angle and cut.

    Sew side and bottom edges of Part A to Part B.

    Then sew a line of stitching on both sides of the small pocket from the bottom.

  5. 5

    Then sew the bias tape all along the sides and bottom.

    Repeat with the remaining pieces. (except for the small pocket)

    Then attach the two sections together with the 1 inch cotton twill trim at the top leaving enough space between the two pieces to fit around the handles. I used two rows of stitching for stability.

    Turn in 1 inch of the end of the trim and sew.

    Sew D rings on the other end of the trim and you are finished.
