Fully lined, NO handstitching!
Cut 2 outside pieces for the carrot, 2 lining pieces, 2 green top pieces (note, the top pattern piece is on a fold).
The top inch or so of the carrot is squared with the top edge. That will become an opening for the ribbon ties so it needs to be even
You can really cut any size but too much smaller gets tricky to sew. The measurements shown here don’t include seam allowance, add whatever you are comfortable sewing.
Pin right sides of the carrot outside & lining to the green top as shown
Leave a couple inches along one top edge unsewn, between the marks
Sew the pinned edges, press the seam allowances towards the centre of the green piece
Stack the pieces right sides together, mark a 1/2" where shown, start stitching just past the 1/2" mark, stop at the mark, start again at the other mark leaving a 1/2" open. Stitch all around the lining to the other side, leaving a 1/2" open there too.
I pressed the seams open
You can sew around like I have here or skip this step
Start where you ended the stitching by the 1/2" opening and sew the outside pieces together
Trim the curve, you can clip it but I find pinking shears work well for this
Turn right side out through the opening left at the beginning
Press, then sew around the edge of the green top. This will close the opening. Add another row of stitches on the other side of the opening.
Ribbon will be threaded through this channel
If you want to sew an unlined bag this video is good, you’ll see how to insert the ribbons as well.
Pull ribbon to cinch up the pouch.
I hope you’ll make some! Please show me if you do
It’s easy to change the shape & size, I’ve been using up whatever fabric I have on hand so mine are all different.
