    Sew a patchwork bag

    1 Using a 4” square die, cut 24 pieces of denim in assorted shades. Arrange the squares in a 3 x 8 layout, flipping pieces over to increase the variety of colour. With a 2” half square triangle die, cut 24 pairs of triangles from cotton prints. Arrange the cotton print triangles on top of the denim pieces, positioning them on the top left and bottom right corners of the squares only and moving them around until you are happy with the colour placement.

    2 On each denim square, flip the triangles over to lay right sides together, points to the centre and the dog eared corners lining up with the sides of the square. Sew along the diagonal edge of the triangles with a 6mm seam allowance and fold out so the right angled corners of the cotton and denim match up. Press and topstitch 2mm from the seam. Sew the decorated squares together in pairs, then blocks of eight, matching up the seam accurately before sewing the rectangular blocks together. Fold the panel right sides facing and sew the short edges together to make a tube.

    3 Cut two 43cm square pieces of cotton print for the lining. Trim a 20cm x 34cm contrast
