1.Measure your sewing machine, e.g.: A: Length + 3 cm B: Height + 2 cm C: Width at bottom + 3 cm D: Width at top + 3 cm E and G: Measure from edge to handle F: Measure handle 
2.Draw sewing lines for the end pattern piece onto dress pattern paper according to your measurements = dotted blue line. Draw notch at centre top. Draw 1 cm seam allowance onto each pattern piece = solid blue line.

Mark handle position on side pieces. 6.Cut out the parts in shell and lining fabric and in Style-Vil interlining. Cut 2 pieces of each. If you intend to quilt, it is a good idea to cut your fabric slightly larger than the paper pattern pieces. 7.Sew Style-Vil interlining to the wrong side of the shell fabric (0.3 cm seam allowance). Draw quilting lines on Style-Vil and then quilt. Make sure that the quilted piece matches the paper template. 8.Using side pieces, sew 1 shell and 1 lining fabric piece together between notches to create a slit for the handle.
