Thought it was time to make a bag and what fun colors for spring.
Used McCalls pattern M6338.
This pattern has a seam at the bottom. I wanted to avoid a bottom seam. Personal preferance, but feel it's a bit stronger not having a seam there.
When cutting piece 6. I folded the fabric another time so as not to have a bottom seam. This also made the need for handles to be cut longer or you could seam them on the bottom of bag anyway. I cut them longer and attached them like the pattern stated, however under the fabric bow is where the raw edges of the handles meet.
This bag took me about 2 hrs to make. Many of the girls at work are wanting one. We may just be having a bag party soon.
Enjoy!
