From the Italian phrase “my beloved”, Cara Mia is a collection of craft cottons combining inspiration from traditional folk art and European hand painted tiles.
This collection offers colour ways of lush greens & blues, soft peach & turquoise and strikingly, crisp red & black.
These organic cotton prints are perfect for your next project.
The cotton is grown to have a low impact on the environment without the use of toxic pesticides and uses low-impact dyes and finishes. It is strictly monitored from seed to finished product and must pass regular inspections to earn the coveted GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certificate.
Batik is a technique of applying wax to fabric in various patterns, which resists coloured dyes, producing beautifully designed fabrics. This technique originated in Indonesia. Watch the video below to see this fascinating process.

SUPPLIES
• Sturdy fabric, such as indoor or outdoor decor fabric • Decorative Trim of your choice • 32” Cord (2) • Scissors • Ruler/Measuring Tape • Sewing Machine • Iron • 14mm Grommets (4) • Hammer/Mallet
STEP 1: Cut 4 (16”x18”) rectangles of your fabric.
STEP 2: Cut 2 squares (2”x2”) off the bottom corners of your rectangles as shown.
STEP 3: Sew on decorative trim to the right side of the fabric.
TIP: Don’t be afraid to get creative!
STEP 4: Sew the sides and base of the rectangles together, wrong side facing out. Leave a 1/2” seam and leave corners and the bag opening unstitched.
STEP 5: Pinch the corner gaps together and stitch them shut. This will be the base of your bag.
STEP 6: Repeat Steps 2-5 for the second look.
STEP 7: Once you have completed the stitching for both looks, flip Look #1 wrong side out and keep Look #2 right side out. Place Look #2 into Look #1.
STEP 8: Sew the openings of the bags together.
STEP 9: Mark holes 4-5” away from the edge of the bag for the handles. Use your grommets as a template to mark the hole size and cut accordingly.
STEP 10: Insert grommets into holes and hammer together follow grommet package instructions. NOTE: Complete this step on a sturdy surface.
STEP 11: Loop in your cord and tie a knot to secure. OPTIONAL: Fray edges of knot
PRO TIP: Use an iron to press your stitches between steps for easier handling and cleaner look.

What you do:
1. Add 1” (2.5cm) to the width and 2” (5cm) to the height of bag dimensions. For the large size bag cut 2 pieces 13” (33cm) x 17” (43cm).
2. Fold the top edge of each piece down 1/2” (1.25cm) and press.
3. Pin the 2 pieces right sides together. Mark 1.5” (3.75cm) from the top edges and stitch around sides and bottom between markings. Zigzag stitch or serge sewn edges to prevent fraying.
4. Clip seam at markings and press open. Fold top down 1” (2.5cm) and topstitch along the bottom folded edge to create the cord casing.
5. Using a safety pin, thread the cord through the casings and knot both ends together to secure.
Optional: Add a cord stopper to keep your bag tightly closed and cord end caps for a more polished look.
