Bali bag

These last days I have been sewing  a new project and today I want to share it with you.
My Bali bag

I did this bag in a class that I took lately, I am charmed with the  final result.
To do this bag, we need a sewing machine, approximately 3 to 4 meters of fabric and a clothesline.
The fabric will be cut  in strips of 2.5" of width, I cut approximately 45 strips. Another option is to use the jelly rolls.  The fabric strip is wrapped around the clothesline and then stitched with a running stitch


then, all these clothelines wrapped by fabric are sewed together.

I think that it will be easily to look at a video to understand the steps,To see the videos click here and here.

  4. Nice bag. You just joined my blog and so I took a peek at yours and now I am following you. Funny that my latest post is making a fabric bowl in a similar way that you made your bag. I took apeek at the video links on your posting and I will try wrapping the fabric like that on my next bag (or bowl).
