• Find the mid point of a 8" x 11" rectangle from Fabric B. Measure 1 1/2" down from the top.

• this is the piece you are going to add the female side of the magnetic snap.

•Mark and place a washer on the wrong side of the fabric, 1 1/2" down from the top center of your rectangle. Mark with a pencil two lines, from top and bottom tracing inside the rectangles on the washer. (Diagram 1)

Applying a Magnetic Snap and Sewing the Exterior and Lining

CoNSTRUCT IoN

Box Corner

• take the exterior of the bag (wrong side out) and pinch apart the two layers of the bag to get a lit-tle triangle on one corner. Flatten it down a little bit and make sure the top and bottom seams are lined up. Hold it tight.

•Place the bag flat on the table. take the acrylic ruler with the 45° angle and lay it on the corner so that the 45° line is right on the edge of the triangle corner.

•We want to do a 4” gusset for this bag, so draw a line 4″ long (with the air-erasable marker) right across the bottom of the 45° corner.

• Stitch on top of the marked line. trim excess fabric if desired, or leave it to add more body to the corner.

•Repeat these steps for the other bag corner and for both lining corners as well.
