The wall in the entryway of my home is empty. I want to make a hanging bag to casually store some small items, such as masks, car keys, a knife for opening express deliveries, alcohol cotton pads, etc. It is both practical and good-looking.
This is the pocket in the first row of the hanging bag, with some decorations on it. The middle pocket is a zippered pocket, and there are ordinary slip pockets on both sides. Place the three pockets on a piece of main material. I ironed 180-gram batting on the main material. The size of the main material is the size of the empty space on the wall. No seam allowance is needed for this!
Sew the four sides of the middle zippered pocket and the three sides of the slip pockets on both sides to fix them. I made a hollow rabbit-shaped fabric at the lower right corner.
These are the materials for another three-dimensional pocket: two pieces of the outer fabric and two pieces of the lining. Iron 180-gram batting on the outer fabric and leave a 1-cm seam allowance. One piece of the batting on the outer fabric is a semi-circle with a diameter of 10 cm, and the other piece is a rectangle with a length of 16 cm and a height of 13 cm. Stack the lining materials together and the outer fabric materials together.
With the right sides facing each other, sew the arc of the semi-circle and the 16-cm side of the rectangle together. Then stack the two sewn materials with the right sides facing each other, align them, and sew around, leaving a turning opening at the bag mouth. After turning it to the right side, sew a narrow edge at the bag mouth to seal the turning opening.
After the three-dimensional pocket is made, like the slip pockets, place it on the main material and sew three sides. Since it is a three-dimensional pocket, it is quite easy to sew it obliquely. We can first draw the sewing lines on the main material. When sewing, sew the bottom line first, and then the two side lines.
Finally, cut another piece of material the same size as the main material and iron 180-gram batting on it. To make it stiff, the main materials are all threaded. Stack the two pieces of main material, align them, and sew around. Then use a gold-foil printed fabric, cut bias strips at a 45-degree angle, and bind the edges all around. And it’s done!
