How to Sew a Ditty Bag

By Amy

How to Sew a Ditty Bag

My newest punch needle pattern is a mixed – media piece

with punch needle, embroidery, and felted wool

all together on a ditty bag.

In case you haven’t made one before, I wanted to show you how to sew a primitive ditty bag:

Supplies Used:

  • Cotton Quilting Fabric
  • Basic Sewing Supplies
  • Twisted Wire
  • Crinkly Ribbon

Cutting the Fabric:

Using the ditty bag cutting pattern provided,

cut out two lining pieces and one back piece.

This example uses a pink fabric for the lining

and a brown print for the front and back.

Center the decorated front piece onto the same pattern and cut.

Sewing the top seams:

Use a 1/4” seam allowance for sewing.

With the right sides together,

sew a lining piece to the front punched piece along the top straight edge.

Sew front to the back

With the right sides together,

sew a lining piece to the back along the top straight edge.

Press the seams toward the lining.

Press the Seam

Sewing the front to the back:

Right sides together,

Pin front to back

sew the front to the back,

Sew front to back

leaving an opening at the bottom of the lining for turning.

Leave opening

 Clip the curves and turn right side out.

Clip the curves

Stitch the opening in the lining closed.

Push the lining down into the bag.

push lining down

Sign me up!

Finishing up the Ditty Bag:

To finish, just add a handle.

For this bag, I used a twisted rusty wire

with crinkly ribbon wrapped around it.
