Yes, That's a Banana in the Pocket.

Okay, let's just call this a fruit bag and leave it like that.  

Front view

This is a prototype for a sewing project to be gifted.  

Back view

This is meant to be a pocket to hang off the arm rest of a chair.  We'll have to stay tuned to see how that works out.  This is my first attempt at a project of this nature.  And it has already made its way back to the work table for revisions.  

The straps were not long enough and an additional piece had to be added.  

Along with Velcro ends for easy adjustments.  We'll see how this fix works out.  

The fabric is leftover from this project made many moons ago.  It is a polyester and linen blend fabric from the home décor department.  It is double sided, both the back and front pocket which made it feel more sturdy and still pliable.  The pieces were sewn together with a rolled hem using the serger (to minimize the fraying) and then secured with a straight stitch.    


Project Details

Seams:  2.6 straight stitch 

Seam finish:  Rolled hem

Fabric:  0.3 metres

Straps:  0.7 metre -- 1-inch wide 

Pattern:  No commercial pattern used

Additional Tools and Supplies:  Cutting table, pins, pin cushion, scissors, measuring tape, ruler, serger, thread clippers, sewing machine, walking foot, threads and tea.  

Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
