  Step 1

  Gather your stuff:
  Sewing machine, fabric, buttons, scissors, thread, needle, shoe lace, pins, safety pin, press stud. I didn't use the blue buttons behind the black ones.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut a big and a small triangle. I cut two small triangles because the red fabric is not that strong.

• 

  Step 3

  Put the small triangle on the big triangle. Make sure the good sides are facing each other! The undersides don't fit, the sides do.

• 

  Step 4

  Insert the pins in the fabric

• 

  Step 5

  Cut the little triangle and tie it off so it looks neat. Sew around the needles.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn the inside in and the outside out.

• 

  Step 7

  Put the flap inside the bag. Insert the pins. Make sure the undersides touche each other.

• 

  Step 8

  Sew a tunnel.

• 

  Step 9

  Tie it off

• 

  Step 10

  Turn it inside out and tie it off.

  (I'm not sure if 'tie it off' is the right way to say what I mean. If it's not, tell me so I can improve my English)

• 

  Step 11

  Well, this is the difficult part. Find the middle of the fabric and insert a pin.

• 

  Step 12

  Find the middle of the two parts and put a pin in the middle next to the first pin (red one).

• 

  Step 13

  Do it again. It should look like this.

• 

  Step 14

  Now you're going to sew it. You are sewing it 8 times. Try to sew as long as possible.

  NOTE: Your sewing machine is probably going to hate you.

• 

  Step 15

  My sewing machine did, so it looks very very ugly. But you can't see it on the picture.

• 

  Step 16

  If you turn the inside in and the outside out again, it should look like this.

• 

  Step 17

  Now, place the buttons. Sew the beak after step 18!

  OH! I forgot to make a picture of the part you put the shoe lace through the tunnel with the safety pin.

• 

  Step 18

  Place the press stud. Now cover the thread with the beak.

• 

  Step 19

  Cut a square.

• 

  Step 20

  Sew and tie off.

• 

  Step 21

  Decide where you want the handle, pin and sew.

• 

  Step 22

  Now you're finished and it should look like this.

• 

  Step 23

  And this. Any questions? Please ask me!
