Oilcloth is a great material to sew with.

• Before you start, put a piece of Scotch
tape or masking tape on the bottom of

your foot will stick to the oilcloth and

• Use binder and paper clips. Oilcloth is
tough to pin through, so clipping works
great.
• Use a stitch length of 3.5. Because
oilcloth is heavy duty, no need to use a
smaller stitch length.
Step 2: Trace all of the pieces onto the

Mark the middle line as in step 3 above,
sewing to the top of pocket piece A. (No
need to sew all the way through B to the top.)
Step 5: Now stack piece A on top of sewn

pieces B and C, lining up the bottom raw
edges, and clip them at the sides. Mark the
middle line with pins, then use a sticky note
to connect the two (since chalk pencils
don’t work well on oilcloth).

edges of the pocket stacks with the raw
edges of the lining piece. Clip together
with binder clips.

and open the legs like a brad so they lay
nice and flat.
Step 8: Baste around the edges with a

long stitch length very close to the raw
edges to hold everything together as one
entire piece.
Installing the Snaps
Step 10: Repeat this process on the

handle with the male side of the snap.
This time, turn the legs of the brad inward
instead of outward, as shown.
By turning them inward, there is no risk of
us breaking a needle since we are going to
sew very close to this snap.
Step 9: On the backing piece, you will

have traced a circle where the snap should
go. Using the metal piece that came with
it, trace the two lines onto the fabric and
seam rip them.
Then, insert the female part of the snap

Step 12: Topstitch around the entire

a bit with my zipper foot so the foot does
not drive on top of the snap. I moved my
needle as far left as it would go to sneak
around. You might find that when the
needle pulls out while sewing, sometimes it
