Add boarder credit card

about adding credit card slots to a bag I do have a few patterns that have credit card slots in them but they're for a wallets and so the pattern pieces are specific to the wallets but I thought it would be cool to have credit card slots in case you wanted to have them in your bag so basically all edges of the credit card slots are finished so it's a quick demonstration I'm gonna jump back over to the side camera and show you how to assemble so first off the pattern piece is linked to in the description for the credit card slots and you'll just need to tape two pieces of paper together so there's page 1 and page 2 and as always you always want to make sure that your 1 inch square and your 4 son or your 4 centimeter square measure exactly so go ahead and take your ruler and just verify that really quickly I'm gonna go ahead and trim off the left-hand margin of just page 2 so that we could tape those two pieces together okay so all you'll need for this project is a bit of fabric whatever fabric you want to make the credit card slots out of and a small piece of shape flex interfacing so I'm going to go ahead and line that triangle and then tape the pieces together so after taping together you'll just go ahead and cut out the 1 pattern piece along the outside of the thick black line so this line right here and then I have one that I cut out earlier before the show and this is what the piece should look like Danny do you mind zooming out just a little bit just so we could get the whole piece and so I've marked some lines on the piece you're not going to cut on these lines however these lines are going to be used for folding the fabric later on and so what I did before the show is I took my rotary cutter and quilting ruler and just made little slits along each of these lines I didn't cut the slits all the way to the end I kind of left a little hinge on either side just so the paper would stay together but having those slits over there just helped for getting everything marked a little bit more accurately on your fabric okay so you'll be just cutting out one piece from your fabric and you'll cut a piece of shape flex interfacing that's slightly smaller than the fabric and that's mark on the page right there okay so here I've got my fabric right here and I have also got my shape flux interfacing and since the shape flex is cut smaller you're just going to go ahead and center it on the wrong side of your fabric and then fuse it in place so I decided to use a solid fabric just so you could clearly see without extra to printed designs getting getting you distracted how the folding is going to go so I'm just going to fuse this in place really quick first and then we're going to use that pattern piece to transfer markings on the right side of the fabric so I recommend using chalk or another marking tool that won't remove with the heat of the iron so friction pens are not a good candidate for this project just because the iron is going to make them disappear but I'm going to go ahead and take my pattern piece as you can see on the pattern piece I've marked top over there I'm just going to go ahead and mark a little tee at the top just so I know what that top edges and then I'm gonna lay this out I'm gonna put my pattern weight aka my scissors at the top edge and then I'm just gonna slide the pencil in the slits that I cut before the show and go ahead and mark the markings numbers 1 through 5 so these markings will help with pressing to get all of the slots that we need okay so after I've got those markings on my fabric I'm actually going to flip to the wrong side of the fabric and I'm gonna mark this time I am going to use my friction pen but I'm going to mark a border around all four edges that's a quarter of an inch in from each side I'm gonna be using these markings actually to press toward the wrong side so the goal for this is to not have any raw edges showing just because I'm going to be placing this panel on a bag like the middle of my lining piece for making a bag okay so now you're gonna press like I said toward the wrong side at each of these markings and if you have like a hemming tool I like I'm a really big fan of the hot ruler I actually couldn't find mine before the show otherwise I'd be using it you can go ahead and use that to get everything pressed just try to be as precise as you possibly can okay so after you've got all four of the edges pressed toward the wrong side you're just gonna take this over to the sewing machine and top stitch the entire perimeter using a scant quarter of an inch seam and a scant quarter of an inch if you're not a quilter is just a hair less than an actual quarter of an inch so I've got another piece that I press sorry that I tap stitched using the scant quarter of an inch as you can see I went all the way around the outer edge and this is what it looks like from the back so the raw edges are just tacked down okay so here's my little tee at the top you're just going to go ahead and use all of the lines that you drew to press so the first marking on the bottom you're gonna press up like this and I kind of pre pressed it before the show just because I don't know I just did the second line you're gonna press it toward the back side like that the third line let me get that flipped up you're gonna press it so that that T is again visible to you and then we're gonna finally going to press and as you can see no raw edges are showing after you've gotten that pressed so next we're gonna do some top stitching on what I like to call the hills so these are the valleys down here and the hills are the portions that are sticking up which you'll see around your credit card so I went and took this over to my sewing machine and I top stitched each of the hills using an eighth of an inch seam allowance okay so after you do that what you're going to do next is draw a line straight down the center and that line will be in from the left hand side by three and three-quarters of an inch so I just drew my line as you can see it's not been stitched yet you're going to finish the stitching as we stitch it to the bag that you'll be using so I have a piece that I prepared this is for the Clydebank bag but whatever bag you're working on that'll work so you just want to find where you want to place those credit card slots on your bag you wanted to be centered you're first going to stitch directly on top of the line that creates the dividers for the credit cards and then you're going to sew the sides in the bottom using an eighth of an inch seam allowance so that will finish by attaching the pocket to your bag and then you have room for your credit cards or your store loyalty cards whatever you want in your bag and that's a quick and easy way to add some credit card slots to your bag without having an extra wallet piece so I am going to announce the winner of last week's giveaway
