Please take a few moments to watch the ByAnnie “Overview” and “A Closer Look” videos on the ByAnnie website. The videos can be found at:
PRE CLASS INSTRUCTIONS: Before Class Allow adequate time to do these steps, do not try to accomplish this the night before class. Please be sure to have watched the ByAnniew Overview & A Closer Look Videos. The first day of class we will start making the bag portion of this pattern. This starts at page 4 with the Quilting. You will need to have all of your pieces cut and your bias binding prepared
1. Cut main fabric pieces, lining pieces, Soft and Stable, fusible interfacing (SF101) and coordinating fabric pieces. Do not cut any vinyl or mesh; I will talk about these in class. The pieces will depend on how you choose to do the pockets on the “pages.” The “pages” are on page 3, look the “pages” over and get an idea how many pockets you want, the size of the pockets, and what you will be putting in them.
2. Label all the pieces. Labels can be found on page 18.
3. Prepare bias binding. (Page 5)
4. Prepare the straps and handles; instructions are on pages 10, 11, & 12. These include the carrying strap, carrying strap tabs, handles, and page strap.
5. I will talk about cutting the zippers in class; again you will determine how many pockets will be zippered. There are 17 zippers in my bag. All the cut ends of the zippers will need to be stitched across OR I used Bondic LED UV Glue Kit to seal the ends. This product is a glue and hardens with an UV light in 4 seconds. It can also be used to mend all kinds of plastics, etc. This can be ordered from Amazon, Walmart etc. Again this is optional but saved me a lot of stitching time!
