- Split your thread into two strands, thread the needle and secure at the back of your fabric.

- Move along an equal short distance across the back of the fabric and come up at point c.

- Secure the thread at the back of your fabric, either with a knot or by working the needle under some of the stitches and then removing any waste thread. This gives a neat and smoother finish.

To make the shoe bag
- To make it I just cut two large rectangles of calico.
- Check that your shoes will fit. Size dependant. I only have very small feet.
- Then stitch the design on one rectangle of calico.
- Zig Zag stitch the sides and bottom and turn the top edge and stitch for a neat finish.
- Place the two sides together, right sides facing in.
- Pin together sandwiching a length of ribbon one one edge to make the tie.
- Stitch around the sides and bottom.
- Turn out and there you have it!
