Steps:

  1. Thread the serger for a four-thread stitch.

  3. Open the fabrics outward and refold lengthwise with right sides together.

  4. Fold the ribbon or decorative cord in half.

    1. Place the cord inside the folded fabric so that it is touching the outer fabric 6” down from the center seam and the fold of the cord is touching the raw edges.

  5. Serge the raw edges of the lengthwise seam together starting with the outer fabric and serging off the fabric 3” before the end.

    1. Make sure you only catch the fold of the cord in the seam.

  6. Leaving a one-inch gap serge the rest of the side seam closed.

  7. Open out the tube you just created so the seam is centered.

  9. Repeat for the opposite end.

  10. Pull the corners into a point and measure approximately one inch in from the point.

  11. Serge the point off and repeat for the other corner and the opposite side.

  12. Turn the bag right side out through the 1” opening left in the lining side seam.

  13. Push the lining into the outer fabric and fold the top down three inches into a cuff.

  14. Bring the ribbon or cord ends around and tie.
