I only see you getting more and more creative with the items you have and what you are doing with them. You used to inspire me way back in Poland (when you didn't have any children - now 8) and now I am even more and more inspired! Thanks for the stimulation, on using old clothes, and making creative items perfect for the situation at hand! I love you girl, Suzie!Dan & Suzie . . .

My one had belt loops that I threaded the cord through - you could make a casing) For the "2 rectangle bags" I then make another two for the lining. Sew the outsides right sides together, ditto for the lining pieces (leaving a section open for turning).....then join them together at the top, inserting handles beforehand - the handles on that bag are sleeves! Another bag I've done I used the front bands of a dress - just use what you've got.<BR/>Turn in the right way, handstitch the final opening (or not!!) and enjoy!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264687026620042961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791957091596445489.post-44433742477948446222007-02-18T21:17:00.000+13:002007-02-18T21:17:00.000+13:00I'm with Karen - the bags are amazing!
