We are following the DESIGN PROCESS to create a bag for our own stakeholder
What do we need to consider?
What will it look like?
Challenge yourself to create something awesome!
This is your paper version of all the parts you will need to construct your bag
EVERY part needs to be accounted for
It needs to be the life size version of your concept designs
Write a list of all your parts
Figure out what is going to be sewn onto the front or side and what you just need to collect
Draw these out looking at the size of the template you have chosen
Every stuffed part needs a SEAM ALLOWANCE
You need to cut your fabric to size first
Equipment:
+ White cotton

+ Boiling water
You need to make sure you leave a long enough loop to attach to the seam of your bag
Equipment:
