Make an under-bed storage bag

From 1.2m of 135cm-wide fabric cut two rectangles 80cm x 50cm, two 135cm x 10cm and one 135cm x 17cm. Neaten one long edge of the narrow rectangles. Press 1.5cm turning onto wrong side and

Pin and stitch to remaining long rectangle at short end. Neaten seam allowances and press open. Pin to large rectangles – make sure corners and centres of rectangles align. Stitch ends of side panel together. Trim turnings. Stitch side to top and bottom. Neaten seam allowances. Turn right-side out and press. Tie ribbon through both zip sliders.
