Assembly
- Attach Zipper: Using sewing needle and thread, sew the two 7-inch zipper panels (Light Blue) to either side of the zipper. The crochet should cover the zipper tape.
- Attach Front Panel: Sew one main bag panel (Light Blue) to the bottom edge of the assembled zipper piece.
- Join Bag Sides: Take the long Side/Bottom Panel (Light Blue) and sew it around the edges of the front bag panel and zipper piece, starting from one corner of the bottom, going up the side, across the top next to the zipper, down the other side, and across the bottom.
- Attach Back Panel: Once the side/bottom panel is attached to the front, sew the second main bag panel (Light Blue) to the remaining open edges of the side/bottom panel and the other side of the zipper. Turn the bag right side out.
- Attach Cloud: Position the Cloud Appliquรฉ centrally on the front of the bag. Using the long tail and yarn needle, whip stitch or invisible stitch the cloud securely onto the bag.
- Attach Stars: Take one star (Light Peach/Coral). Attach a chain of about 10-12 ch stitches to its top point, then attach this chain to the bottom corner of the cloud. Repeat for the second star (Light Mint Green), attaching it slightly offset. Repeat for the third star (Light Peach/Coral). You can also chain directly from the cloud for each star, varying chain lengths for a cascading effect.
- Attach Strap: Sew the ends of the strap securely to the top corners of the main bag body, next to the zipper, on the back side. If using a buckle, thread one end of the strap through the buckle, sew to secure, then thread the other end through the other side of the buckle.
