Gunny Sack for Toys

Tutorial

What you need:

Piece of burlap 100cmx140cm

Piece of cotton fabric 100cmx140cm

Iron on letters

* First draw four equal pieces with a width of 35cm on the cotton, like this:

* Mark each piece at 17 ½ cm from the upper corners, like I did in the picture below, and draw lines from mark to mark:

* Cut along the lines, so that you have four pieces of fabric that look like this:

* Do the same with the burlap.

 You should have four pieces of each now (four burlap, four cotton):

* Now pin two of the diagonal sides on each other, good side on good side of the fabric, about 1cm from the edge, and sew. Fold open. It now should like this: 

* Do the same with the other diagonal sides, until all sides are connected. It should now look like a cross:

Do this also with the burlap.

* Now pin and sew all the long sides of the burlap, so the fabric forms a sack:

Same for the cotton.

* Turn the cotton inside out, so that the good side of the fabric is on the inside of the sack. The burlap should have the good side on the outside.

Now is the time to iron on the letters on one side of the cotton sack. Be careful to iron on the letters in such a way that if the edge of the cotton sack is turned to the outside the letters are not upside down.

Put the cotton sack in the burlap sack and sew the upper edges together, so the cotton sack stays put to the burlap sack.

Fold the edges of both sacks together to the outside, in such way that you can see the iron on letters.

That’s it! Good luck!
