Bucket Bag Tutorial & Pattern: Part Two

Here’s the second part of our bucket bag tutorial and pattern.  In Part One, we made the interior and the exterior of the bucket bag.  In this part, we will be trying to avoid turning your bag into a “black hole” by making a small zippered pocket to be added to the lining for the little bits you do not want to have swimming at the bottom of the bag.  We’ll also be joining the lining with the outside of the bag and making and attaching the handles to finish the bag.

Materials:

• 1/2 yard, 54″ wide upholstery fabric, thick canvas (see recommendations below)
• 1/2 yard, 54″ wide Lining fabric
• 1/2″ Bias tape, one roll (approx 2 yards)
• 17 mm Grommets
• Polyester Thread for sewing canvas
• Double sided tape 3/8″ wide
• One large bead for the tassel with a 10mm hole
• Pellon Peltex
• Magnetic bag clasp (optional)

Tools:

• Kam tool
• Zipper foot
• Jeans needle
• Inches to centimeters converter (Optional)
• Rotary cutter (Optional)
