I do agree with your instruction suggestions, as a new sewist, that stumped me on the handles. I wish I would have made it stiffer too, or larger, but I can make more, what a great gift item.SIMPLESEWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897074396716166040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462389179011675231.post-22045955466507008942012-08-06T23:39:37.490+01:002012-08-06T23:39:37.490+01:00Amanda I just read that you are the winner of the ...Amanda I just read that you are the winner of the Cloud 9 Monsters bundle from LRStitched - well done.

I just found ways that were easier for me. I loved this project and thought it was brilliant of Rachel to think of it and design it.

I have a bag pattern that adds in side panels in the way these handles are attached so it seemed normal for me but you are right - leaving the 1/4 inch unsewn is vital and sewing down rather than up makes more sense.<br />I made mine for the bedroom so not sure what kind of events I might get invited to!!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148803101055301234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462389179011675231.post-87706403299707712472012-07-31T03:57:46.462+01:002012-07-31T03:57:46.462+01:00Your bag is adorable!
