with the raw edge facing up line it up with line you marked and sew across. press it up and top stitch the sides of the pocket
****I used iron on velcro here's where you might want to apply yours if its sew on.
Now take you other 16 1/2" piece of fabric lay it on top right sides together. stitch around and leave a gap so you can turn it right side out trim corners.Press again fold up one end 5 inches from the bottom now stitch sides down this is the front pocket.On this same pocket measure over one inch from the side draw a line horizontally from the bottom and stitch up 5 inches. this is for your pen.measure 3 inches from the top and mark a line across stitch a line then another a 1/4 inch away from it..This is where the flap folds over.Top stitch the flap edges and sides.I used the iron on velcro so I did that last. I sewed on a button.

The black is a Chelsea bag more difficult to make. It is home decor fabric $10 a yard.Its a back pack and a purse you have to be careful how you pick it up or it ends up upside down.The last one is my own design a back pack I haven't used it yet.

My sewing


My latest bag
here's my patchwork bag. I saw it on creative little daisys blog.I love her blog she is so talented!I cut 2 inchs at the top 3 inchs at the bottom 13 inches long I sewed them up the sides them layed them on fleece and quilted it It was supposed to be a stitch and flip. I like it a lot except I am going to relocate the handes to the front. It sags when you carry it.It has lots of pockets its really nice. I have 2 pairs of pants to finish
