After all my sheet work , research , Sketch Book and samples i had a tote bag pattern cut unique to my design with my measurements and i had my fabric
Died like my samples with enough for my bag components with 1.5cm seam allowance. My fabric was cut out and dyed using procion red MX5B orange MX3R Green MX2B dye once dry i
Heat pressed and wash to lock it in.
With my fabric complete i then placed my screen in the center of the fabric and with a squeegee i pulled the black pigment over my screen 3 times so that the black would stand out. Once that was dry i took the batik and drew the branches and flowers then ironed it to remove excess wax to create a resist i chose an ink wash after i heat pressed and washed. For the final bit i mixed puffbinder with pigment small amount to create orange puffbinder which i placed over selected details.
Now that my fabric was complete i placed my fabric then pinned into place for my panel for the bag and the handle and i then cut them out.
Using a brother 40 E sewing machine i began to sew my bag together i
Began with the the sides together i put the fabric inside out and with 1.5cm park i
Straight stitched each side. Then to create the handles i folded in half then straight stitched and then folded inside out then ironed before sewing on to the bag. Te fold at the top was ironed then also hand sewn with the care label. The felt sample i produced was hand sewn to the bag.
