Step 19

Move the Hexagon to the middle of the mat, again this is so you have enough excess fabric to be able to put it into a hoop.

Step 20

Set your fabric to cotton for the first three mats and then change to interfacing for the fourth. You will need to make sure your fabric marker pen is also loaded. Follow the on screen instructions until all pieces have been cut. Carefully remove them from the mat to ensure minimal fabric fraying.

Step 21

Take your patch fabric and place into an embroidery hoop.

Step 22

Take three strands of your black embroidery thread and back stitch the design.

Step 23

Wash away the fabric pen markings with warm water, dry and iron. Cut out the patch into the hexagon shape and place to one side.

Step 24

Next you will need your Velcro and ribbon. Cut the ribbon to the desired length approx. 14cm. Fold the ends over twice and sew with your machine. On one end of the fabric sew on a small piece of Velcro, cutting the same size from the opposite piece.

Step 25

Take your cut piece of your outer lunch bag and mark in the middle where this piece of Velcro will go, a few centimetres from the top.

Step 26

Pin the piece of Velcro in place.

Step 27

Sew the Velcro into place.

Step 28

Place and pin your ribbon strap into place on the back side of the lunch bag piece. Making sure the strap meets where the front piece of Velcro is.

Step 29

Sew into place.

Step 30

Take your 'Bon Appetit' patch and pin to the front of the lunch bag fabric.

Step 31

Adjust your machine settings to Zig Zag stitch, the stitch length should be 1.5 and the width should be between 4 and 5.

Step 32

Stitch around the patch shape onto the fabric.

Step 33

Right sides together, sew along the two edges of the fabric pieces. Leave a gap big enough to be able to turn the piece through on one side of the lining piece.
