Then instead of sewing the handles and turning them, turn each side under 1/2" pin and topstitch. I also topstitch the other side. I find this much easier than turning the handles.Cindy Benedumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-91131822773342690582015-04-10T06:30:52.187-07:002015-04-10T06:30:52.187-07:00Thank you for this pattern.

So it finally dawned on me to look online for a pattern and get inspired enough to go purchase some fabric - and make my own red purse. This is it! There is red burlap at the fabric store down the street. Now a bit of it has my name on it, along with enough natural colored burlap for a sweet little rose. All that's left to select is the lining. Certainly that won't be too hard. This is going to be fun! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely work! What an inspiration!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982101027359945685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-82509916662096549882012-10-19T11:54:39.311-07:002012-10-19T11:54:39.311-07:00Just made this as a treat for myself after finishi...Just made this as a treat for myself after finishing Halloween costumes for the kids.

I saw your bag design on allfreesewing, ...Hi Nancy,<br />I saw your bag design on allfreesewing, and have made two. I absolutely love them. I made the first one out of an old denim jumper, and the second one out of a burlap-looking (not scratchy) pink material from some pants that used to belong to my mother. I'd be happy to send you pictures if you tell me where to send them.<br /><br />I solved the problem of sewing in the lining by sewing the lining and outside of the bag (right sides together) across the top first (position the handles first), then opening them up and sewing the two pieces together right sides together leaving an opening in the lining and then pulling the the bag right side out through the hole. Push the lining into place. I ironed the top and then top-stitching was a breeze. I added a button and button-hole (new skill) to the first and magnetic purse snaps to the second.<br /><br />I was wondering if you would sell me a copy of this pattern so that I could make these to sell? (I actually made a pattern - big foldable rectangle with pleat marks noted - so would just need your permission.) <br /><br />You have an incredible blog. Thank you for posting this tutorial. judy.pece@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899253981564081268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-82073569109127618402012-07-16T07:54:32.016-07:002012-07-16T07:54:32.016-07:00Hi Louise,

I believe I have seen it in Manukau at David's Emporium, Stock House Fabrics and as I remember the best selection was at wholesale place I just love called Designer Textiles International (11 Lovegrove Cr Otara). I could spend all day there. If you're not close to Auckland just ask your local fabric shop for hessian.<br />Good luck!<br />xox<br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670970617048728670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-65120328467108658492012-07-16T00:28:49.997-07:002012-07-16T00:28:49.997-07:00Hi I love your ideas But, where do we buy Burlap m...Hi I love your ideas But, where do we buy Burlap material in NZLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955311790228544590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-58378443092262230152012-07-11T11:46:40.238-07:002012-07-11T11:46:40.238-07:00Hi Jessica,

I got so many compliments on it all over the world.<br /><br />Make sure you read the follow up at the bottom of the post on this bag. I made some changes with the next bags I made including interfacing the straps. Even with the interfacing my straps on other bags are wearing out from too much use. I use iron on interfacing on all my bags now and iron them with a really hot iron on the burlap side which seems to make it less scratchy. Really iron it A LOT!!!! It seems to get softer with use, too. As for fraying, I do topstitch the edges before sewing the seams together. All in all, I would say these are not everyday bags. Too fragile. <br /><br />I'd love to see what you make. I have a list of people who have made it and love seeing their photos. Someday I may write a post about what everyone came up with.<br /><br />My favorite burlap bag is the black one below. Too bad I gave it away! Also made a white one with yellow print lining that needs new straps!<br /><br />http://lamaisonreid.blogspot.com/2011/01/pleated-pouch-presents.html<br />http://lamaisonreid.blogspot.com/2010/11/burlap-bag-and-thank-you.html<br /><br />Keep up the good work....hope you get this response...your email address was not included in your post!<br />xox<br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670970617048728670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318682116927678067.post-43234826223778978432012-07-10T19:45:38.479-07:002012-07-10T19:45:38.479-07:00Thanks for such a great tutorial.

I threw it in the washing machine!!!! Fail! Needless to say I will be redoing the outer shell. Although my straps held up really well. Do you have any tips on keeping burlap from fraying?
