Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary supplies:

• For the bag:

  • 1 piece of exterior fabric for each pattern part
  • 1 piece of interfacing (thermocollant) for each pattern part
  • 1 piece of lining fabric for each pattern part
  • 1 zipper (45 cm) and 1 zipper pull
  • 1 strap (32 mm wide, approximately 1.2 m long)
  • 1 quick-release buckle
  • 1 plastic adjustable buckle

• For the inner zippered pocket:

  • 2 pieces of fabric (19 cm x 15 cm)
  • 1 zipper (25 cm or 30 cm)

• Sewing accessories:

  • Scissors
  • Sewing machine
  • Cutting mat
  • Ruler or quilting square
  • Fabric pen or chalk
  • Pins or clips
  • Iron and ironing board

Step 2: Download and Print the Pattern

• Visit the Atelier Rose Bobine website to download the banana bag pattern.
• Make sure to print it at 100% scale to ensure the correct size.

Step 3: Cut Out Your Fabric Pieces

• Using the printed pattern, cut out the required pieces from your exterior fabric, interfacing, and lining fabric.
• Pay close attention to the cutting directions for each piece.

Step 4: Prepare the Interfacing

• Apply the interfacing to the wrong side of each exterior fabric piece.
• Use an iron set to the appropriate heat for your fabric type to ensure a secure bond.

Step 5: Sew the Zipper

• Take one piece of the lining fabric and one piece of the outer fabric.
• Place the zipper between them, aligning the edges.
• Sew along the edge, then press the fabric away from the zipper.
• Repeat on the other side of the zipper with the remaining outer and lining pieces.

Step 6: Assemble the Bag

• With the zipper installed, fold the bag pieces together.
• Pin or clip the edges, ensuring the zipper is partially open for turning later.
• Sew along the edges, leaving a gap in the lining for turning the bag inside out.

Step 7: Create the Inner Zippered Pocket

• Take the two pieces of fabric for the inner pocket and sew the zipper in as you did in Step 5.
• Attach this pocket to the lining of the bag before closing up the main bag.

Step 8: Attach the Straps

• Cut the strap to the desired length according to your preference.
• Attach the quick-release buckle and the adjustable buckle to the strap ends.
• Securely sew the strap to the sides of the bag.

Step 9: Finishing Touches

• Turn the bag inside out through the opening left in the lining.
• Push out the corners gently for a neat finish.
• Sew the opening in the lining closed, either by hand or machine.
• Press the bag to give it a polished look.
