Cookie Bags Embroidery Project

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning. Cut outer and lining fabric 6.5” x 11” for as many cookie bags you would like to make. 

Fold outer bag fabric in half.  Matching top edge raw edges. 

Center place embroidery design paper template  3.5” up from bottom fold  to center of design. Mark axis points. 

Load embroidery design onto your machine. Refer to design thread color chart for thread colors. Hoop stabilizer. Lightly spray temporary adhesive spray onto stabilizer. Center place matching axis points to hoop markings. Finger press to secure. Smooth in place. 

Attach hoop to machine. Confirm center needle placement of design. Begin the embroidering process. Embroidering stitch out complete. Detach hoop. Cut and trim all jump stitches and loose thread ends. Trim cutaway stabilizer 1/2" from design.

With right sides together sew side seams using ¼” seam allowance. If needed serge or zig zag raw edges to prevent fraying. Repeat this step for lining.

Turn lining right side out. Slide into outer bag.  Right sides together matching side seams. Pin in place.

Stitch all around top edge using ¼” seam allowance. Leaving a 2” opening for turning. Turn right side out by pulling lining and outer bag through opening. Iron press. 

Push down lining into outer bag. Wrong sides together. Iron press top edge. Fold in seam at opening. Top stitch all around top edge as this will also close opening.
