Spin round and round on the dance floor with a 7" record vanity bag.
This project was almost a craft gone bag. My machine needle snapped and I managed to slice my finger on a pair of scissors, getting blood all over my sewing machine :(. It was worth it though.

Step 1
Use your record as a template and trace around it on the the leather.
Step 2
Draw two.
Step 3
Find a zip measuring about 7" long.
Step 4
Cut two rectangles of fabric measuring just over 7" x 1.5" wide.
Step 5
Pin these to either side of the zip.
Step 6
Sew in place.
Step 7
Check the zip works.
Step 8
Now measure around the circumference of the record and draw a rectangle measuring the circumference minus the length of the zip by 3" wide.
Step 9
Cut this out along with the two circular pieces leaving a seam allowance.
Step 10
Take one circular piece and the rectangle.
Step 11
Lay the rectangle down, right side facing up and pin the circle on top, right side facing down.
Step 12
Pin around the entire circumference.
Step 13
Now attach the rectangle with the zipper in the remaining space.
Step 14
Sew around the circumference, stitching both rectangles in place.
Step 15
Leave the area where the zip and second rectangle overlap unstitched.
Step 16
Attach the second circle in a similar way.
Step 17
Sew in to place.
Step 18
Now make the strap from a rectangle of fabric measuring around 4" x 40".
Step 19
Fold in half so that the wrong side of the fabric is facing out and pin along one edge.
Step 20
Sew along this edge.
Step 21
Turn the strap right side out.
Step 22
Turn the bag right way out and fold the rectangle neatly under where it meets the zip.
Step 23
Place the straps inside the openings at either side of the zip and pin.
Step 24
Turn right side out and sew along the circumference.
Step 25
Sew the strap in place.
Step 26
Your bag should look like this.
Step 27
Turn it right side out and pull the strap out.
Step 28
Glue one side of a record with strong adhesive.
Step 29
You'll need quite a lot so make one circle of glue around the label and one around the outside of the record.
Step 30
Stick to one side of the bag and repeat with the second record on the other side.
Step 31
Leave it to dry and you'r ready to rock!
