Handles


I tried this new bag pattern today. It uses pre-made handles (like the kind you buy at the craft store). I think I like the way it turned out. It is basically a square of two kinds of fabric sewn together (so it makes one square with the good side of each fabric showing and backsides sewn together). The corners of the fabric get put through the loops on the bottom of the handles, and held in place with an elastic. Then put ribbon over the elastic. Gather the material on the top sides, then add a clasp to the middle. 
I know those aren't very detailed instructions, but it can you give a basic idea. 
Play with it. You can always create new things from basic ideas.
