you might get creative as you want.
Watch the video below for the step-by-step tutorial.
Use a seam ripper and small scissors to make the process easier.
Step 2:
Using an iron, flatten the fabric.
Then turn it around so that the end tip is pointing at you.
Next, get a measuring tape or ruler, then measure 3.94 inches from the end tip.
Create a half-circle and cut it.
Step 3:
terminate the cutout by sewing the seams together.
Then fold the edges and stitch them.
Next, measure 3.54 inches vertically from the top part of one rib.
Then from that point, measure 1.18 inches horizontally to the left.
Draw a vertical line from that end to the top edge and secure the fold using a pin.
Do the same for all of the rib parts of the umbrella.
Once done, sew the vertical lines.
Step 4:
Fix the fabric and double-check that each rib is aligned.
Do the same for all rib areas and sew the line.
Then repeat the process one more time to have a pleated top for the bag.
Next, reverse the fabric.
Step 5:
Fold the top edges and stitch.
Do the same to the upper left side.
Then attach the handles.
it’s possible for you to use any fabric scrap that is sturdy enough to become handles.
Step 6:
Finish the bag by making a flower for decoration.
Using the fabric scraps, create petals and turn them into a flower.
For the middle part of your flower, you might use an old button.
Once done with the flower, attach it to the center front of the bag and you are done!
