And that's how easy it is:

  1. Download template. Print on DIN A3 (if necessary in the copy shop) and cut out. Alternatively transfer template to A3 paper.
  2. Transfer template to double laid linen fabric so that 2 equal parts are created. Apply seam allowances and edges to the fabric.
  3. Cut out the fabric. Then spray the fabric with spray starch and iron.
  4. Double the fabric again, fix the edges with pins. Sew both side and bottom edges together with 1 cm seam allowance. Leave the triangle open.
  5. Turn the bag through the triangle.
  6. Engage the edges of the triangle, insert 18.5 cm lace ribbon per edge and sew.
  7. Engage the pocket at the marked bend edge and sew the sides together.
