Here is a brand new bag pattern and video for the Oriole Bag! This project is available in 2 different sizes, small or large. You can make this bag in the material of your choice (I made one version in cotton fabric and another in cork fabric). The bag comes together quickly in just 23 steps and uses front and back fabrics that creatively form a 3-dimensional bag using darts. The video for this project is 50 minutes long and shows the entire project from start to finish.

What you'll need for this project:
1/2 yard of exterior fabric
1/2 yard of lining fabric
1/2 yard of foam interfacing (By Annie’s Soft and Stable, Pellon Flex Foam, Bosal In-R-Form, or automotive headliner; if using Flex Foam, it is only 20” wide so please purchase at least 1 yard)
2 yards of 20” wide Pellon SF-101 Shape Flex fusible woven interfacing (or medium-weight fusible)
Twist lock or 1/2” magnetic snap (find them at Emmaline Bags)
Two 1” metal rectangles
1” metal slider
Other supplies that I used during the video:
fabric glue (I used Beacon 3-1 glue; Fabric-Tac would also work great!)
