Ready for Spring

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!
