FABRIC PROTOTYPE

Lydia and I then created a prototype out of fabric. To start with we pinned all the pattern pieces to the calico, cut them out and sewed them together. We sewed the zip first, sandwiched between the lining and outer fabric, as this was going to be the most complicated part. Then the three pieces for outer bag were sewn together and the same for the lining. The two sides were then attached to the zip and turned inside out through a side of the bag. The sides were the last parts to be sewn up. We made several notes throughout the process about the order and some advice for creating the real bag. The actual bag will be a lot more complicated to make as we’ll need to take the thickness into consideration and the plastic may be difficult to work with.
