DIY Travel Trash Bag Tutorial

How to make a car trash bag holder in just an hour. Uses those doggie/diaper bags so smart!

Ingredients 

  • 1/4 Yard Fabric for outside mine is quilting cotton
  • 1/4 Yard Thick Canvas or Duck Cloth
  • Button or Safety pin for securing.

Instructions

  • Cut the pieces to size. You need 2 pieces of your main fabric and 2 of your duck cloth measuring 9X13 inches. For the strap cut a piece 3X13 inches and the for the inner section 2 pieces of duck cloth 9 by whatever is left (probably about 17 inches).
  • With right sides together sew the long sides of the 9X13 pieces to the matching piece with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Now you should have 2 tubes
  • Open the seam and iron. Turn the outer fabric right side out and slide it around the duck cloth piece. Fold the top edges under 1 inch and press.
  • Make the strap by folding the strap piece in half lengthwise and sew one long edge and one short edge. Turn right side out and iron.
  • Tuck the unfinished edge between the folded edges of the tubes you made at one of the seams.
  • Sew around the top edge of the tube making sure to catch the strap. Now you should have one tube with a finished top and raw edges at the bottom. Set that aside.
  • Take the 9X 17 inch pieces and sew the long edges with a 3/4 inch seam allowance.
  • Fold the top edge under in 1/2 increments until it’s about the same size as the other piece you made. (It just needs to be a little shorter so it can sit inside without showing).
  • With the first tube (double layer/outside) piece turned wrong side out (so the pretty pieces are on the inside facing eachother) tuck the first tube inside the tube you just made.
  • Sew across the bottom catching 6 all layers.
  • Turn right side out and you’re all set. Use a button or saftey pin to adjust the strap to the desired length to sit around your gear shifter and tuck in a doggie or diaper trash bag around the edges.
