  Step 1

  Cut two pieces of fabric to a little more than the size you need the finished bag to be. Out of laziness I cut the fabric as one long strip to fold in half so I didn't need to sew the bottom edge. This strip is about 60cm x 23cm and the finished bag is about 26cm x 20cm.

  Step 2

  Iron the top edges of the pieces over to the inside to make a hem. I turned over by 1cm then by another 2cm or so and pressed.

• 

  Step 3

  Stitch a piece of ribbon onto the right side of one of the pieces, quite near the top. I used 40cm of ribbon but you would need a longer piece if you wanted to tie a proper bow. I stitched it in two places with a gap in between to form a loop to have a space to hang a name tag from.

  Step 4

  Stitch the hems you ironed in down.

• 

  Step 5

  Stitch the edges, right sides together. Mine aren't neat at all but it doesn't show in the finished item.

• 

  Step 6

  I made a gusseted bag by stitching the corners. Pinch a corner across the base of the bag to make it 3D. It's hard to explain, I hope the pictures make sense.

  Step 7

  Stitch the corner. I stitched it 4cm in from the corner which makes quite a wide base bag.

  Step 8

  ta dah! All done.
