Serger Box Bag

I made this bag for a friend based on the instructions in the Craftsy.com class, “beginner serging” by Amy Alan*. It was mostly constructed with my serger – I did do a little basting with my sewing machine where the zipper meets the zipper tab/side — no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get it to stay in the right place without being basted!

Since I didn’t have any fusible fleece, I instead fused SF101 to the exterior piece, and then used basting spray to attach sweater fleece. This seemed to work really well at ensuring good structure.

Overall it was pretty easy to do, and a great way to use up fat quarters!

I’m Natasha (Nat) and I’m an Australian girl who grew up in Hobart, Tasmania and moved to Northern Virginia, USA in 2005. When I was a kid, my grandmother taught me how to hand embroider, and later, between seventh grade home ec. lessons, my mother, and a lot of trial and error, I learned to machine sew too. I mostly sew children’s wear but I'm also trying to make more of an effort to sew for me!
