Double Gauze and Linen Zippered Bag Tutorial- Part 1

Stitching a cloth tab onto each end of the zipper...


                                       ...and attaching a fabric 'tube' to each side.



                           Making fabric 'envelopes' from double gauze and linen...

                       ...and squaring off their corners by sewing across the ends...



                                           ...and trimming off the excess fabric.



                      Tucking one envelope inside the other (with right sides together)...

                 ...and stitching around the top edge...leaving an opening for turning.



                                   Pushing the lining fabric to the inside of the bag...

                                         ...and top-stitching for a tidy appearance.



                                                  Next time: the finished bag.
