Here’s how:

How to Make a New World Satchel- Gather your supplies

You will need the following items:

-1/2 yard of cotton or linen fabric – 1/4 yard of leather or vinyl – Heavy duty thread – Scissors – A sewing machine

-1/2 yard of cotton or linen fabric

You will need a half yard of either cotton or linen fabric for this project. If you are using a patterned fabric, make sure that the pattern is centered and symmetrical before cutting.

-1/4 yard of leather or vinyl

For the bottom and straps of the satchel, you will need a quarter yard of either leather or vinyl. If you are using a print, make sure it is aligned before cutting so that the design is not cut off when you sew it to the rest of the bag.

-Heavy-duty thread

Make sure to use heavy-duty thread when sewing this project, as the regular thread may snap under the strain of holding all your supplies.

-Scissors

Any sharp scissors will do for this project. Make sure that they are clean and sharpened before cutting your fabric so that you get clean lines and avoid fraying.

-A sewing machine

A sewing machine is not strictly necessary for this project, but it will make things go much faster than hand-stitching everything together. If you do not have access to a sewing machine, you can still sew this by hand using a needle and thread.

Cut Your Fabric

Cut two rectangles out of your fabric. They should be 12 inches wide and 18 inches long.

To cut the fabric, you will need a sharp pair of scissors and measuring tape. First, measure out and mark 12 inches on one side of the fabric. Then, measure and mark 18 inches on the other side of the fabric. Next, cut along the markings to create two rectangles that are 12 inches by 18 inches.

Sew the Sides of the Fabric Together

Sew the two rectangles of fabric together along the 12-inch sides using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

To sew the fabric together, you will need to use a sewing machine. Set your machine to a straight stitch and a medium-length stitch. Start by sewing along one of the long sides of the rectangle, with the right sides of the fabric facing each other. Sew slowly and evenly, making sure that the fabric doesn’t bunch up as you go. When you get to the end of the seam, backstitch to secure the thread. Repeat this process on the other long side of the rectangle.

Sew the Bottom of the Fabric Together

Sew the bottom of the fabric together using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

To sew the bottom of your fabric together, first, align the two pieces of fabric so that the wrong sides are facing each other. Then, starting at one end, sew along the edge using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Sew until you reach the other end. Trim any excess thread and turn the fabric right side out.

Fold and Sew the Top of the Fabric Together

Fold the top of the fabric down 1/2 inch and sew it in place using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

To create the satchel opening, we will need to sew a horizontal line across the top of the fabric panel that is about 6 inches from the top edge. We will do this by folding the fabric down 1/2 inch, then sewing a 1/2-inch seam allowance along the fold. This will create a pocket for the drawstring to be threaded through.

Cut your Leather or Vinyl

Cut a 12-inch by 18-inch rectangle out of your leather or vinyl.

To begin, you will need to cut a 12-inch by 18-inch rectangle out of your leather or vinyl. You can do this with a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife. Once you have your rectangle cut out, you are ready to move on to the next step.

Sew the Leather or Vinyl to the Fabric

Center the leather or vinyl on the wrong side of the fabric and sew it in place using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.

To attach the leather or vinyl to the fabric, you’ll want to first center it on the wrong side of the fabric. Then, using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, sew it in place.

Sew the side seams of the satchel

Sew the side seams of the satchel using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

To sew the side seams of the satchel, first align the two sides of the fabric so that the right sides are facing each other. Then, pin the fabric in place along the edge. Sew the two sides together using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Start at the bottom of the satchel and sew up to the top. Repeat for the other side seam.

Sew the Bottom of the Satchel

Sew the bottom of the satchel using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

Start by sewing the bottom of the satchel closed. To do this, simply sew along the bottom edge of the satchel using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your seam to reinforce it.

Once you’ve sewn the bottom of the satchel closed, you’re almost finished! The only thing left to do is fold and sew the top of the satchel shut.

Fold and Sew the Top of the Satchel

Fold the top of the satchel down 1/2 inch and sew it in place using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

Next, fold the top of the satchel inch and sew it in place using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.

Finally, fold the top of the satchel inches and sew it in place using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
