Measure 3cm along this line, then 1 cm either side at the fabric edge. Join the lines to make triangular darts.

Here's a tip: place an extra piece of fabric behind the fastening to strengthen the holes.

Adhere the adhesive sheets behind a piece of lining fabric. Draw around your heart template and cut out three hearts.

16

Iron the hearts to the right side of the flap, just to one side as you see in the photograph.

17
picture

Use the 4mm seam marker and an erasable marker pen to trace around the hearts.

18

Sew around the outline of the hearts with a triple stitch on your machine, take the stitch line to one side of the flap to create a 'stem'.

19

Sew the two lining pieces right sides together, leaving the top open. Turn the right side out and press. Edge stitch 5mm around the seam, use your seam gauge to mark the stitch line to make sure your stitching is consistent.

Fit the second half of the magnetic closure to the front of the bag, centrally, 15cm from the top.

21

Sew the flap, right sides together to the centre back of the bag.

22

Cut a length of lining measuring 76cm x 10cm for the strap, fold in half lengthways and crease, then fold each long edge to the centre and crease again. Fold in half and press.

Another tip: A spray of starch will help to keep the creases in place before you sew!
