Step‑by‑Step Sewing Tutorial

1. Cut the materials as listed on the measurement chart:
   
   • Mesh (9 inches x 16 inches)
   • 4 strips of bias tape (9 inches each)
   • 2 strips of bias tape (7 inches each)
   • Front and back of Velcro (cut to 0.75 x 0.75 inches)
2. Stitch both edges of each 7" bias‑tape to form handles (stitch down the long edges).
3. Sandwich one 9" edge of mesh between a 9" bias‑tape; place handle ends at 3" from each side; clip and sew.
4. Fold handles up; sew again to secure.
5. Repeat for mesh’s opposite side.
6. Attach Velcro squares, centered 4.5" from mesh edge, aligned with bias tape edge.
7. Fold mesh in half, align, and encase folded edges between remaining bias tapes—allowing 0.5" to fold over raw edges.
8. Sew along inner and outer tape edges, neatly enclosing seams.
9. Fill the finished bag with bath toys—stylish, tidy, and airy!
