Tutorial: Add piping when making a bag

Sara from Sew Sweetness shares a tutorial showing how you can add piping when sewing a bag.  The piping adds a pretty finish to your seams and shows off the lines of your bag.  Her tutorial shows how to make the piping and how to sew it into the seams. Her method for making piping uses fusible webbing tape to keep the cording snug inside the fabric covering while it’s being sewn down.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
