- Press the bag and topstitch around the top of the bag, as close to the edge as possible.
- Measure from the top of the bag to the opening of the ribbon casing. Mark where the casing needs
to be at each side of pocket and sew around the whole bag, like tram-lines (avoiding the pocket,
don't want to sew that baby shut). - Measure across your body to determine the length of the handle and cut two strips of fabric as
long as you need (plus 1" seam allowance) by 2" wide. - Sew a point on one end of the handle, and half the point on the other (this will make life easier
later) and trim the seams.
