What youll need to make your Coffee Sack Purse:<\/h2>\n
\n
\nStep 1<\/strong>
\nCut the binding off your book. You may need to reinforce the bottom (what was the spine of your book) mine was a bit thin after cutting out the pages.
\nStep 2<\/strong>
\nLay your book flat and measure your fabric for the cover. Leave an extra half inch all the way around.<\/strong><\/em>Cut 4 small rectangles<\/strong> out of the cover fabric, you will use these to attach your handles.<\/em>
\nCut 1 piece<\/strong> of the Coffee sack the same size as your fabric or a little larger.<\/em>
\n Cut 2 pieces<\/strong> of the coffee sack for the ends.<\/em>
\nStep 3<\/strong>
\nSew around the fabric for the cover of your book. Leave one side open to insert your book<\/em>.
\nStep 4<\/strong>
\nPin and sew the cover closed by hand.
\nStep 5<\/strong>
\nTake the 4 small rectangles fold them in half and sew them down one side. When you are finished turn them right side out.
\nStep 6<\/strong>
\nPut them through the rings on the bottom of the handles and sew them together.
\n
\nStep 7<\/strong>
\nUsing your hot glue gun, glue these to your covered book cover.
\nStep 8<\/strong>
\nSew these by hand around the edges to secure.
\nStep 9<\/strong>
\nSew the 3 pieces your coffee sack fabric together leave at least a half inch selvage on all seams.<\/em> Leave seams on the outside<\/em>, you will fray the edges later.
\nStep 10<\/strong>
\nCut random pieces of your coffee sacks. I placed them on the bag and pined them together to decide my placement before sewing them together.
\nStep 11<\/strong>
\nOnce you know how you want all your pieces laid out, sew them together.
\n
\nStep 12<\/strong>
\nPin these to the coffee sack fabric you sewed for the bag cover.<\/p>\n
\nDecorate with your yarn sewing the pieced fabric to the coffee sack cover.<\/em> Once you are finished with your decorative sewing, glue all your knots to keep them from unraveling.<\/em>
\nStep 14<\/strong>
\nUsing your hot glue gun sew any loose areas of the pieced coffee sack to your base coffee sack.
\nStep 15<\/strong>
\nFray all loose edges of your coffee sacks.
\nStep 16<\/strong>
\nSlide your covered book into your decorated coffee sack cover and glue along the edge.<\/em>
\nStep 17<\/strong>
\nAs extra security sew the coffee sack cover to your covered book.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
