Hi, I'm Candi Cane, with Expert Village. So in this clip, we're going to be making a really
fun shoe bag that you can use for your shoes to store them, or when you're traveling, or
as just a general fun stash bag. So, we're going to be making a bag that's going to fit
shoes that are 13" long, this is together with a little extra room, and 7" wide. So
I'm going to go ahead and cut out my fabric. About 17" long and about 11" wide because
we want to have enough room that we can go all the way around. So you take your fabric
and you just want to go ahead and fold it in half, and just measure out - get it really straight, and just go ahead
and measure out how long you need it. You can just place a pin. And I just go the length
of the fabric and just measure out and place a pin. And you could also use chalk to measure
out these measurements, but pins are just as easy. And then my measurement across, and
again you just go up the length of the bag. You do want to leave about an inch extra at
the top so that we can use that for the casing to go ahead and fold it underneath. Once you
figure out how big you need your bag to be and you have your markings, you can just go
ahead and cut it out. Okay, and once you have that done, the next step is going to be actually
stitching it.
