In our instructions we describe how to sew a beautiful handkerchief bag. It is quick and easy to sew and is therefore also great for beginners. The bags can be filled again and again and you have your handkerchief always ready to hand and stylishly packed. Also a very nice sweet gift or souvenir.

This is how the bag is sewn:
You will need the following cuttings per pocket

- Cotton fabric 15 x 16 cm
- Fleece 15 x 16 cm
- 2 x bias tape 15 cm

Iron the fleece onto the left fabric side and let it cool down. Bind the two 15 cm long edges with the bias tape. For this purpose, sew it tightly with a straight stitch

Mark the centre of the unbordered edges and then lay the bias tape edges up to this mark so that they overlap slightly. Make sure that the right sides of the fabric are on the inside. Sew with a straight stitch with about 1 cm seam allowance.

Now sew the corners to create a "box" shape. To do this, pull the open edges apart and lay them on top of each other to form a straight line. Now sew this straight line together with the straight stitch

Turn the bag over and fill in tissues.
