PATTERN
Transfer pattern onto graph paper. Each square equals 1/2 inch.
Copy onto a folded piece of kraft paper so you have the entire pattern for easy 1-ply cutting of the fabric.
Dimensions: Approx. 11″H x 9-1/2″W.
ASSEMBLY
Tape one seam [AC] with mounting tape of each side section of the tote.
On one side section, with right sides together, remove the backing on the tape and align with opposite end of section [AC] to form a bag loop. Stitch ¼” seam allowance along AC. With a bone turner, crease the seam open. Fold the seam allowance to one side and edgestitch along seam on the face through all the layer. (I use a Teflon ® presser foot to reduce drag).
Repeat the above directions for the other section.
Join each side with right sides together from B to D with mounting tape. Stitch ¼” seam allowance. Now you will have 2 handles. At each X mark on the side section, snip a ¼” slit.
