Damn, Ive got 2 metres of 20oz stuff and now think Ive bought the wrong thing and should have got 4oz instead.....

Now I know why the bag I "tried" to make last night looks more like a tea cosy!! :rotfl:

As well as doubling it up if it is too thin, you can also carefully split it into two to make it thinner. If you pull from one corner and go slowly, it might need a little help here and there, but it will split.

I would suggest cutting roughly to size first though as it is easier to split a smaller piece.

Hi Everyone

Hopefully someone can help me!

I have seen this: http://www.betterware.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?pid=057742&cid=193&language=en-GB and i want one.

Would i be able to sew it by hand and use old clothes like jeans to make it? Or would i need to buy decent material and use a sewing machine?

And does anyone have any instructions for something like this?

Thanks

I have just made a couple of those organisers and they worked out well.

I made mine a little taller. I used a piece of fabric 28" x 11" and folded up about 3.5" to make the pockets.

I also used a piece of heavyweight interfacing on both pieces of fabric, so the organiser stands up on its own and helps give the bag some shape.

Next one on Saturday morning, going OK - making a skirt on Saturday. Looked at the pattern and am totally confused, so going to learn about reading patterns too!

Hope yours are going well! I have been reading this thread, but whilst at work usually so dont update. I liked your little make up bag, not sure I'm up to making that yet though. Had a go at a sock monkey at the weekend, that was fun. Came out OK'ish, good practice for hand sewing as I cant do that either!
