Start by assembling the vertical columns for the front, back, sides,
and bottom of the bag. Place the first and second blocks right
sides together. Line up the squaring stitches for the two blocks,
and use pins to hold the blocks in place.
Once stitched, open the two pieces and make sure the designs
line up properly, then press the seams open using a steam iron.
Stitch slightly inside the squaring stitch using a straight stitch and
your walking foot, removing the pins as you sew.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for the remaining columns on the front, back,
and sides. For the bottom, use steps 1 - 3 to create a row. The
front and back will need columns attached to one another. Use
steps 1 - 3 as your reference to do so.
Now take the pocket blocks, and cut a 9” x 9” piece of lining for
each one.
Place the block and the lining right sides together, and use pins to
hold in place across the top edge.
