Take the 15” x 15” cork fabric and fold it in half. Use the guides
you’ve drawn to center the fabric. Depending on how you folded

The project is now ready to become a bag!
Firmly press the cork fabric against the stabilizer so that it stays
attached. Follow the machine steps to complete the decorative
embroidery steps.
Tear the project away from the stabilizer, and carefully remove as
much stabilizer as possible.
To start making your bag, prepare the remaining materials by
cutting the fabrics to size.
NOTE : see the materials page for exact measurements
