I made two of these bags for my dd & ds last weekend, and they came out great. I had a bit of leftover material from the Dreaded Shirt (which I have finally finished as well), and used all the big leftover pieces up. Used old shoelaces I had around for the drawstring. The kids are in heaven! And I learned what a "flat fell seam" is. My only question was - how do you do the last flat fell seam? Because it certainly didn't come out flat the way I did it - I couldn't figure out how to sew inside the bag so that everything was flat - instead I folded over the seam & sewed a second seam - so the bottom of the bag is a bit bulky, but at least there are no raw edges showing. Hints?
Still a beginning sewer after 30+ years of off-and-on sewing,
