1. Welcome: Hello, thank you for
joining me in this class. My name is ruth
and I love Sewing. I'm creating designs
for fabrics, which I sell in my
Spoonflower shop. This class we're going to make a Japanese Rice
Bag of komebukuro. I do hope you will enjoy it. During the class, you
will see me making a few Rice Bag to let you see a different MOOC
each bag has this can have an impact on how
you want to use your bag. I have included some quilting. I'm patchwork and there's an introduction to
Slow Stitching, which is reminiscent of Sachiko I traditional
Japanese Stitching. This gives you back uniqueness. The bag is polluter basketball. And I will talk you
through how to do this. It's really easy. And it's a technique you can apply to other types
of bag making. Okay, let's get going.
2. Komebukuro: Steps 1-4: In this first lesson, we will make a Komebukuro
or Japanese Rice Bag, which will include quilting
and slow stitching. All the fabric have
chosen has been given to me or I have picked
up secondhand. The first step is to cut out your fabric and the size
of squares you want. I have included a template for eight inch square bag and
a template for the loops. This size of bag is very roomy. A molar hold a lot
of your things, for example, hair products. You let us knitting project, suffer the beach, etcetera. If you're unable to
print off the template, then it's easy to use a ruler at mocking
measurements before. I recommend using
warding or batting. As it gets you back
structure and stability, especially if you want
to coat your back. But as you will see in later
lessons, is not necessary. Quilting is very easy. And the effect it will have depends on the design of
Stitching you choose. I demonstrate three different
ways to quote a diamond shaped by his stitch
diagonally across your fabric. Square shapes using straight
lines of Stitching, random stitching, but using
different colors of thread. Start by pinning your
square root of warding to each piece of fabric
on the wrong side, Unquilted each piece before
joining them together. You will notice I haven't used either a walking foot
or three motion food. I didn't find it necessary. But you do so if you'd prefer. So your pieces together
to create a box shape, I use a quarter of an inch seam allowance
throughout the project
3. Komebukuro: Step 5 : At this point, I decided
to do some slow stitching. Before inserting the base, I chose pellet Cotton
and similar shades. It gives the fabric a layer of texture and adds more
interest to your piece, is also very relaxing and an
extremely enjoyable process. This fetch itself is a
basic running stitch
4. Komebukuro: Step 6 : The next step is to
insert the base. Start by matching the
corners of the fabric. Right sides together
along each edge, unpin Eclipse as you
go Turn your fabric, when you come to each corner in your Sewing, in the middle of the same
or not at a corner. It's much easier. And you will achieve
a need to finish. When you reach the corners. Keep the needle in the fabric, lift the food top, and turn your fabric ground. Pushing the excess
under the foot. Make sure you keep. Hello and I continue
5. Komebukuro: Step 7: For the car, I have included
a template for you to use. But really you can make
them any size your brush. And this bag, there is
one loop for each panel. Ham the short to end
of the rectangle. I've used a quarter of
an inch seam allowance, folding over the fabric twice. It's much easier
if you press first wrong sides together. Foldover the fabric length
wise to create the loop. Pin them to the right side of the bag and the
center of each panel, matching the raw edges. The folded edge of
the loop should be facing away from the
raw edge of the Bag. Tim place, making sure
you catch all the edges
6. Komebukuro: Steps 8 & 9: Next, make the lining or inner Bag Steps at
the same as for the out-of-bag without
recording take stitching. The main difference, an
extremely important one, is to make sure you
leave a turning that off at least 3 " of one
of your site seems. This enables you to pull
that out of fabric through. And it is what makes
your Bag Reversible
7. Komebukuro: Steps 10-13: Turned out to bag inside out. I'm with right sides together, insert the lining into the
outer bag, match the seams. I'm pushed the corners and place pin and so
along the raw edge, making sure the loops are facing downwards in-between the
two layers of fabric with a quarter of an
inch seam allowance. So the two sections
together go slowly, especially the areas
many layers of fabric. No, taking your time, gently pull that
out to back through the gap is left
and the lightning. So the gap to close it, you can Machine or stitch
8. Komebukuro: Steps 14 & 15 : The next step is to put the lining back
into the outer bag, pushing the corners into place. At this point, do you compress
the edges if you wish? Then pin the fabric in place before Sewing a
row of stitches or top stitch along outer edge of the bag with a culture
financial moments. This looks neat, but also helps
keep the lining in place. Take your time and go slowly. Especially in the areas where there are many
layers of fabric
9. Komebukuro: Step 16 : The last thing to
do is cut the car to take into equal lens. Could add one piece of card
through all the loops. Finishing where you start
to not the ends together. Choose a loop directly opposite. Repeat this with his
second piece of card.
10. Quitled Rice Bag, No Slow Stitching: I've made this Rice Bag using
Steps one to 4.6 to 15, missing Step five,
the slow stitching. The only thing different
is the style of cool tech, which I've done the straight
lines from top to bottom. I don't want Panel going
across to creating squares. This all adds to the
look of your Bag. The water gifts the Bag. A nice start, can
easily stamped on it. So something to think about when you're
considering multiple
11. Patchwork Rice Bag, Unquilted: But this Rice Bag, I decided to do some patchwork. But the outer part of the Bag, using our odds and ends of
Cotton fabric and old shirts. I have included a template for the pieces and they will fit into an eight-inch square base. If you're using a
different sized space, you will need to calculate
the width of your pieces. If you have a printer, you can print out the templates and use them to cut
out your fabric. But don't worry if you don't, you can easily measure
your pieces using a ruler. It's very important to
make sure your edges are square or the pieces
will not fit properly. A quilting ruler,
a straight edge, is handy for this afternoon, fitted the base. I decided to do some slow
stitching on the panels. So the sequence for
this bag is slightly different from the bag
in the first lesson. As long as you can access
the panels to stitch, it doesn't matter which order
you do these two steps. I have used the
pellet Cotton for my Slow Stitching
and matching colors. Embroidery floss with
do just as well. This stitch is an essence, a running stitch with equal
spacing between each stitch. Don't worry, if you
Stitching and swanky. Josh relax and didn't enjoy it? And you will find your rhythm is a very mindful experience. Here I'm making the
loops for this bag. I am making them in exactly the same way as I
did for the first bag in the to plot the lining. I use mainly fabric samples
for my Spoon Flour Shop. Follow the steps for
those komebukuro. Unless someone to
complete your back
12. Basic Cotton Rice Bag: With this Rice Bag, I have used brightly
colored cotton squares without warding to make
the structure of the Bag. This means it will
be much less rigid. Otherwise, it is made in
exactly the same way. Although just for Fun, no loops are a different shape. I did some random stitching with the machine to add some
decoration to each of the panels. Doing this also holds the
inner and outer parts together
13. Thank you : Thank you for joining me. I hope you enjoyed the class
and learn some new skills. Please post photographs of your project to the class so we can all admire them and let us know what you're
using your bag for. Also, please leave a
review at helps me a lot. See you in the next class. Bye
