Belle Bag Course
I used Agate Vinyl, which is stiffer than our softer types. For beginners, use fabric or canvas as the pattern suggests. Steps are the same, but you’ll fuse interfacing—I skip that in the video and mention it there.
Learn to make the Belle Bag
This video course includes step-by-step instruction on making the Belle Baby Bag by Swoon.
The Belle Bag is a very fun make! Originally designed as a diaper bag, it has 10 pockets and plenty of space to hold everything you need. You can make it as a diaper bag, or as your every day bag!
Finished dimensions: 15" wide x 10" tall x 6.5" deep
You will need a copy of the Belle Baby Bag pattern by Swoon Sewing Patterns.
Materials:
- SHH Vinyl OR SHH Canvas (for exterior)
- Coordinating lining Canvas OR Fabric (for lining)
- (if using not using stiffer vinyl + canvas) 1 pack Soft & Stable 36 x 44"
- (if using not using stiffer vinyl + canvas) 3 yards SF101 or equivalent Callie Day
- (if using not using stiffer vinyl + canvas) 1/4 yd Peltex
- 1 zipper with pull
- 2 D-rings
- 4 rectangle rings
- 2 swivels
- 1 slider
- (optional) Rivets and KAM Snap press OR Chicago screws
Note: I demonstrate using our Agate Vinyl, which has a stiffer nature when compared to our softer vinyls. I recommend you use fabric or canvas fabric for your first time through, as indicated on the pattern. The steps will remain the same, but you will fuse interfacing to your fabrics where I do not in this video. I do talk about this more in the video. :)
