CONSTRUCTING YOUR TOTE BAG
ADDING THE ZIPPER & LINING
A B
Repeat the same process shown in picture steps M -P to
attach the second half of the wedge and it’s lining to the
zipper. This is what the back of your design should look like
at this point.
For the time being, pull your lining and wedge fabric taught
against the zipper and pin to secure.
Once stitched together, your design should look something
like this.
Using a zipper foot, sew the first watermelon wedge and
lining to the zipper.
With right sides together, sandwich the zipper’s edge with
the straight edges of the lining and watermelon wedge.
Trim the straight edges to 1⁄4” seam allowance.
