Refashioned Bags-Shower Curtain Tote

 

We will need

One Shower Curtain 25x91cm

Parchment paper

 

Cut 63x81 cm rectangle from the shower curtain.  Fold the bottom of the rectangle upward 15cm.

Fold the top of the rectangle down 12cm.

Place parchment paper over and under the folds and sew the folds down on both ends of the curtain.  Every 15 cm along the bottom of the curtain, sew a vertical seam to hold the fold into place and create 5 pockets.  Whenever you sew over the curtain, place parchment paper over and under the plastic to help the sewing machine glide over the plastic.  When the seam is in place, carefully rip the parchment paper off.

Cut 3 strips from the scrap fabric, the first should be 7.5x76cm.  Roll hem all 3 strips on the long sides.

Place the longest strip 7 cm from the top folded edge of the bag.  Use a couple pieces of tape to hold it in place, then cover the area with parchment paper on the bottom, and stitch the bottom edge of the strip onto the curtain.

Fold the curtain in half widthwise then turn the bag so that the seam created in step,6, is in the center back of the bag.  Sew the cotton of the bag (using parchment paper) with a clean finish.

Place the ends of one of the shorter strips vertically under the top edge of the longer fabric strip to create the handle.  Each end should be 7 cm from the center of the bag.

Repeat on the back with the remaining shorter strip, Sew all the way around the top edge of the longer strip, sewing the handles into place along the way.
