Walker Bag (without lining) By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide Materials: 1/3 yd. 44”-45” wide pre-quilted or sturdy fabric for the body of the bag 1/4 yd. coordinating fabric for pockets, straps and binding 2 one inch buttons or Velcro Cutting: (If you took fabric at our meeting it’s over size and must be recut.) Body of the bag: Cut two 18” x 12” One 5” x 8” for closure tab Coordinating fabric: One 7” x 14” for outer pocket Two 2” x 24” for side ties (ignore this if you’re using twill tape or ribbon for side straps) Two 5” x 10 ½” for top straps One 2½” by WOF for binding Stitch: To prevent raveling zigzag or overcast the sides and bottom of the front and back of the bag. Pocket: 1. Make a pocket from the 7” x 14” coordinating fabric by folding it in half and stitching.(I also inserted a 7” x 7” piece of batting to make it a bit sturdier.) 2. Stitch the pocket to the front of the bag. Side ties: 1.Fold in half lengthwise. Sew length and both ends using ¼” seam. Leave an opening in the middle to turn. (If you are able to turn this you are better than I am. Folding and topstitching is fine, or use ribbon or twill tape. As long as you’ve got ties you’re fine.) 2.Turn right side out and press. 3.Fold the straps in half and baste the fold 3” up from the bottom of the bag. (These are going to be used to tie the sides of the bag to the walker.) Closure tab: 1.Fold the 5” x 8” piece in half lengthwise. Sew sides and top. Turn right side out. 2.Stitch Velcro to the short stitched end. Top Straps: 1.Fold the straps in half lengthwise and stitch one end and the length. 2.Turn and press. 3.Sew a buttonhole (or Velcro) ½” from the end of each strap. 4.Measure 2” from the side seams of the bag. Align raw edges of straps and bag and stitch. Body of bag: 1. Stitch the closure tab to the center top of the back piece. 2. Pin front and back of bag together. 3. Stitch the sides and bottom of the bag. (I used a 3/8” seam.) 4. Square up the bottom corners of the bag. You do this by folding the corners of the bottom of the bag so that the bottom seam and the side seam are perfectly aligned. Sew across the newly formed “triangle”. (This is about a 2” seam.) Finishing: 1. Prepare your binding strip as you would for binding a quilt. Attach it to the top of the bag as though the bag was your quilt. 2.Sew buttons (or Velcro) on the front of the bag opposite the straps. 3.Sew Velcro to the top center of the bag so it lines up with the closure tab. .

Tailoring Series TECHNIQUES for TAILORING UNDERLINING a TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining Is a Second Layer of Fabric. It Is Cut By
tailoring series TECHNIQUES FOR TAILORING UNDERLINING A TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining is a second layer of fabric. It is cut by the garment pattern pieces and staystitched to the wrong side of the corresponding outer sections before any seams are joined. The two layers are then handled as one. As a general guide, most suit jackets and coats look more pro- fessional when underlined. Underlining is especially recommended for lightweight wool materials, loosely woven materials and light- colored materials. For additional information on selecting fabrics for underlining and applying the underlining, see Lining a Shirt 01' Dress HE 72, N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. STAYSTITCHING—Staystitch all outer garment pieces before construction begins. If garment is underlined, stays-titching is done when the two layers of fabric are sewn together. Staystitch 1/3 in. outside seamline (on the seam allowance). Stay- stitch “ with matching cotton thread on all curved *areas that may stretch during construction such as necklines, side seams, shoulder seams, armholes, and side seams of skirt. Use directional stitching always to prevent stretching of fabric and to prevent one layer of fabric from riding. The direction to stitch is indicated by small arrows on the pattern on the seamlines. INTERFACINGS—Select a high quality hair canvas for the front and collar of coats and jackets. The percentage of wool indicates the quality—the higher the wool content of the canvas the better the quality. Since a high percentage of wool makes the hair canvas fairly dark in color, it cannot be used successfully under light-colored fabrics. In these cases use an interfacing lighter in color and lower in wool content.

Placket Construction Options
Placket Construction Options 1 Type1: Two Separate Bound Edges on a rectangular stitching box The key to this structure is that the bindings are initially stitched only to the seam allowances on each side, and NOT stitched across the end, of the clipped box, which means that they, and the clipped triangle at the bottom, remain loose and can be arranged before the nal nishing to go on either side of the fabric, as well as either over or under the other, after joining them at the sides. The widths and lengths of the bindings and the space between the sides of the clipped box determine all the other options available in this most exible of all the placket types I know of. Variation 1: Both bindings t inside the stitching box If you cut the bindings so the nished, folded widths of both are equal to or smaller than the space between the initial stitching lines, as shown above, you can arrange both ends at the clipped corners to all go on one side of the fabric (right or wrong side), along with the clipped triangle on the garment. You’ll get the best results if the underlapping binding is slightly smaller than the overlapping one. This can be man- aged by taking slightly deeper seam allowances when you join this piece, so they can initially be cut from the same strip. Or, you can place one end on each side with the Both ends on RS One end on RS, Both ends on WS triangle sandwiched in between.
