🧩 Part 3: Assembly & Sewing

1. Arrange the Pieces: Lay all 8 segments flat in order from 1 to 8. Their curved shapes will form a circular/spiral pattern.
2. Sewing from the Inside: Turn the pieces to the wrong side (backside). Use a tapestry needle and matching yarn.
3. Stitch Choice: Use an invisible mattress stitch or crochet them together using a Slip Stitch (Sl st) through the back loops only for maximum neatness.
4. Forming the Bag: Once all 8 pieces are joined into one large wavy circle, fold it in half. Sew the side and bottom edges together to create the bag pouch, leaving the top open.

🧶 Part 4: Making the Romanian Cord Handle

1. R1: Leave a 20 cm yarn tail for sewing. Make a slip knot and Ch 2.
2. R2: Sc 1 into the first chain.
3. R3: Turn the work slightly clockwise. Insert the hook under the single loop on the side. Yarn over, pull through, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook.
4. R4+: Turn again. You will see two parallel loops on the side. Insert the hook under both loops, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, and pull through the remaining two loops.
5. Repeat: Repeat row 4 until the handle reaches your desired length:
   • Handbag Handle: 30–40 cm
   • Shoulder Bag: 55–65 cm
   • Crossbody Bag: 110–120 cm

🧵 Part 5: Fabric Lining & Inside Pocket

The Lining:

1. Fold your lining fabric into two layers and place the bag on top.
2. Trace the bag shape with chalk and cut, leaving a 2 cm seam allowance.
3. Sew the sides and bottom of the fabric layer together.
4. Pin a zipper to the top opening of the fabric and stitch it down.
5. Place the lining pouch inside the crochet bag and secure the top edges using a blind stitch.

The Inside Pocket:

1. Cut a small fabric rectangle (e.g., 15 cm x 20 cm) before sewing the lining together.
2. Fold all 4 edges inward by 1 cm and iron them flat. Sew the top edge first.
3. Pin the pocket to the center face of the lining piece.
4. Stitch the left, right, and bottom edges securely to the lining, leaving the top open.
