You need as an aid
Sewing thread, Textile glue, temporary glue for textiles, a line ex-pen, fabric scissors, craft scissors, 1 pencil, chalk or a crayon, Pins or Clover Wonder Clips, wrapping paper and a ca. 60 cm for making the Pattern, your sewing machine and iron.
It is best to choose a ribbon to go with the school bag, which can be used to close the filled bag on the day of school.
School gift bags-Use blank as Pattern-template
Arc shape: use as many auxiliary points as possible
Various fabrics: share Pattern !
Now make a Pattern, by placing the blank on the edge of the wrapping paper sheet, holding the point with a steady hand and rolling the school bag once around (the adhesive seam serves as orientation) and set a mark with a pencil at the height of the upper edge. Now hold the blank and draw a line from the tip to the mark
For the arc shape, set as many help points as possible on your Pattern, which you will later connect to form an arc
If, as in the example, several substances are used, subdivide Pattern accordingly - here: 3 cut pieces
Cutting & Sewing
The individual pattern pieces are now transferred to the fabric with the help of the line-Ex pen. It is essential that a seam allowance of 1 cm is included. The individual pieces of fabric are now sewn together at the curves. Fold the fabric seam smoothly and, if desired, overstitch with a serrated tape.
Cut to size
Sew fabric panel
Felt with wood look
Alternative to the Chalkboard fabric
Also a nice idea is to cut one to size Cotton fabric and embroider it with the name of the ABC protector by hand Embroidery twist or with the sewing machine
Of course you can also sew on a motif. Ready-made appliqués are best suited for this. However, if you want to choose the motif freely and cut it out of fabric, it is advisable to transfer and sew it on with iron-on fleece.
Sew on the fabric panel and Paint sponge
For the exact positioning of the fabric panel on the school bag fabric we recommend working with temporary spray adhesive. This is sprayed onto the back of the fabric panel. This allows the board to be repositioned again and again, and it sticks. Another advantage: the sewing machine needle does not stick when sewing together
Of course the fabric panel can also be fixed with Textile glue . When using Textile glue the fabric panel is not sewn on only but is also securely fixed by the adhesive. Before continuing sewing, this glue must dry completely so that it does not stick to the sewing machine needle.

Finish of the School gift bag
Finally everything can be turned around. Simply insert the school bag blank into the fabric for reinforcement, label the board with the desired name or slogan and of course fill the bag! Finally, it is closed with a pretty ribbon.
