Today I was making the trial for my bag. I decided to do this trial because I need to know how to make my bag before I actually make it, so if there’s anything wrong or need to be modified, I would know it and when the time I make the actual bag, I wouldn’t do any mistake (if there’s no any justification made on the day when I make the actual bag).
The equipments used for today were sewing machine, garments, marker, ruler, scissor, stationary (to take records), and camera (to take pictures). I use cheap materials (because this is just for the trial) and cut it to two for each different color (there are two colors) with the size of 28cmx18cm (later it would become 26cmx16cm because it would requires 1 cm for the inside sewing). After that, sew the perimeter each of the same color (1 cm distance; leave a hole for the mouth of the bag). Cut another garment (different color) for the rope of the bag (98cm) and sew at each side of one of the garment (inside) with the method of ‘X’ sewing technique. Put another color inside the other color and sew the open mouth of the bag. Then it’s done. The bag has two different colors and just simply pulls it inside out and it becomes another design.
The difficulty that I find is that to try to visualize how it would work out at the end. The tailor helps me with me sewing the garment first and then he would show me how to attach each of the garments so that at the end it would work out. He demonstrated it and then I finally understand how to; then I went back to work with him helping me with making the bag and supervise me (together with my aunt).
I can do differently by using the same rope that I’ll use for my actual bag later so that it would be better and there’s no any justification made again on the day when I make the actual bag.
