Lamifix is a fusible transparent film that’s perfect for covering cotton fabrics and making them wipe-clean. The film is thin and flexible enough that it can be sewn\ with an ordinary needle, making these shower-proof pouches a cinch to make. Use pretty prints and finish with ribbon and flower buttons for a feminine look.
Make a drawstring bag
Bond Lamifix to a 15cm x 60cm piece of red floral fabric. Cut this into two pieces, a 15cm x 48cm rectangle and a 12cm square. Lay a 15cm x 48cm piece of blue floral fabric over the Lamifixed rectangle, right sides together. Sew together along one long edge. Unfold and topstitch 2mm from the seam.
Fold the work in half in the other direction so the shorter edges meet, and sew down the side, starting 10cm from the top of the blue fabric and stitching to the bottom of the Lamifixed piece. Fold in the raw edges at the top of the seam and topstitch.
Fold over 5mm at the top of the cotton fabric and finger press. Fold this edge down by another 3.5cm and pin. Hem the folds with a double line of stitching, one 2mm from the first fold and the other 1.4cm from this to create a wide channel for threading ribbon.
Flatten the bag along the side seam and mark the other side of the bottom edge with a pin. Refold so the pin sits directly over the seam and mark the edges of the bag to divide it into quarters.
Take the 12cm square of fabric and pin to the base of the bag, lining up the corners with the pins. Pin
