When you have finished making your own Japanese Knot Bag it will measure approximately 5¼” (13.5 cm) high by 4¾” (12 cm) wide by 3¼” (8 cm) deep.

This is a great beginner sewing project that includes a FREE video tutorial that you can view below:-

What is needed to make a Japanese Knot Bag:–

• One rectangle 15’’ by 8¾”’ (38 cm by 22 cm) from exterior fabric.*
• One rectangle 15’’ by 8¾” (38 cm by 22 cm) from lining fabric.*
• Two rectangles 8¾” by 5½” (22 cm by 14 cm) for straps.*
• One rectangle 15’’ by 8¾” (38 cm by 22 cm) from Non-woven fusible interfacing or Fusible fleece** (for exterior rectangle).
• Woven fusible interfacing – two rectangles 8¾” by 5½” (22 cm by 14 cm) for straps pieces.
• One metal snap or one sew-on magnetic snap closure***

*The designer suggests cotton fabric (like quilting cotton). Remember about directional prints when cutting. For straps, you can use contrast cotton fabric or cut from exterior or lining fabric.

**For small size use a thinner fusible fleece. Press to fuse the interfacing and fleece to the wrong side of all the needed details. NOTE! Following the manufacturer’s instructions on the interfacing.

***If you will attach the metal snap by hand, then follow the instructions on the package. Use the metal snap for the press if you have a press. If you want the outside of the bag to be clean, then use the sew-on magnetic snap.

All of the seam allowances are ⅜” (1 cm) unless otherwise noted.
