Pink Backpack

Step 3 - Turn over 6mm at top of bag and press. Turn over another 5cm and press. Sew close along edge.
Step 4 - Repeat this process on the other side, starting from the right tying half inch knots into the centre working on a diagonal angle. This will complete the first V row, to create a diagonal clove hitch knot.
