Assembly Instructions
Prepare the Base
Start by blocking your bag base to ensure it maintains its oval shape. Lightly steam or dampen the base and pin it to the correct dimensions. Allow to dry completely before proceeding with assembly.
Attach Body to Base
Using white yarn and a tapestry needle, carefully sew the bag body to the base. Work around the entire perimeter, ensuring even tension. Use a whip stitch or blanket stitch for a professional finish.
Install Interfacing
Cut your interfacing to fit the interior dimensions of your bag. Carefully position it inside the bag body, ensuring it sits flush against the walls. This will provide structure and help maintain the bag's shape.
Attach the Flap
Position the yellow flap at the back center of the bag. Sew it securely to the bag body using matching yellow thread. Ensure the flap hangs naturally and covers the opening adequately.
Install Magnetic Closure
Mark the center point of your flap and the corresponding position on the bag front. Install the magnetic closure according to manufacturer's instructions. Test the closure to ensure proper alignment and strength.
Attach Handle Connectors
Sew the handle attachment pieces to the bag body at marked positions. Ensure they are positioned symmetrically and can support the weight of the bag. Reinforce with additional stitching for durability.
Install Handles
Thread the luxury handles through the attachment pieces and secure them in place. Test the handle strength and adjust positioning if necessary. The handles should sit comfortably and maintain their shape under load.
Final Inspection & Finishing
Inspect all seams and connections. Trim any loose threads and weave in remaining ends. Give your bag a final steam or light blocking to ensure perfect shape. Your Luxe Sunshine Elegance bag is now ready to use!
