DIY CHALKBAG Step 1
Prepare bottom: cut fabric to match the size of a DVD plus a 1cm seam Iron fusible web to the fabric (make sure to iron on the fabric side, and select the right side of the web)
12cm
Step 2 Prepare side: cut fabric to match 40cm x 20cm Cut fusible web to 38cm x 18 cm and center it on the fabric; iron the web to the fabric
40cm 4cm 20cm
18cm
Insert an eyelet into the fabric (cut a very small whole in
the fabric, insert the eyelet, etc) 38cm
Step 3 Prepare inner bag: cut fleece to match the layout on the right
38cm
18cm
note that you should be able to fold the fleece in the
middle such that it exactly matches -- you want to sew it together later on

DIY CHALKBAG nylon ribbon
Step 4 Sew long nylon ribbon to the fleece make sure that you sew it two times, so that the lower end of the ribbon really tightly matches the fleece
Step 5 attach the fabric with the fusible web on it to the ribbon, which is connected with the fleece.

fabric
attention: make sure to pay attention to the stiffness of
the ribbon, when you turn it on the right side later on nylon ribbon
in order to do this you need to first connect both ends of
the ribbon so that it has the diameter of a DVD (use a safety pin) - start with the right side then, use stick pins to connect the fabric with the ribbon (yes, again, right side) -- then, remove the safety pin to start sewing sew the nylon ribbon onto the fabric, make sure the ribbon is on the right side of the fabric to cover the seam in the end, the result should look like the picture on the right - here, you can see that the fabric is a little bit folded, which will go away once you sew everything together

Step 6
nylon ribbon
now, you need to attach hinges made of nylon ribbon
this might be a little bit tricky becaues you need to attach those tiny little ribbons to the large ribbon - the fabric could possibly not be able to hold the weight and could be destroyed
fleece
all these ribbons together might be little bit to much for your sewing machine, so you can try it first or sew them manually
Step 7 another tricky part is adding the bottom to the entire bag essentially you need to place stitch pins so that you connect the bottom part of the fabric with the circular bottom - this might take a while make sure you dont create any folds, if in doubt, just remove all stitch pins and start over put stich pins on the sides of the fabric as well (left+right) and make sure that you match the top part of each side perfectly then sew together the fabric
Step 7
seam inner bag
before sewing together the inner bag, you need place the cord inside out, i.e. the outer ends will be inside of the bag which is on the wrong side; use at least 3 safety pins to securely attach the cord you need to remove the safety pins in the end, when the inner bag is placed inside, so be careful finally, turn the bag on the right side, sew together the inner bag, and seam the top of the bag in a decorative way - then youre done
