Now I'm leading the class again and find myself wanting to make more bags for these ladies. So I had to use my old post to remind me how I made them, especially the measurements.
This pattern is based on using 45inch wide fabric. Turns out the fabrics I wanted to use were scraps that were not 45 inch. This might be the case if you are using fat quarters.
So I used 2 pieces that were 12 x 24½ inches plus two 2 x 15 inch strip for handles. So, yes, unfortunately it's not a one pattern piece for this project. One more seam had to be stitched since 2 fabrics were used. Hey, when working with scraps, the name of the game is put enough pieces together to make the size of fabric you need.
The seam on the opposite side is completely stitched with no opening left.
It's hard to show a picture on how to turn the lining inside out completely.
The red you see is the pocket that was added to the lining.
See old post for pocket instructions.
Follow the directions on the old post. All you have to do after turning inside out is make the handles, add them and top stitch around the top which will close the opening that was left.
