Today's Friday Fun Day is Part 1
We are going to stitch up a simple shoulder bag
and learn how to make an easy I cord
for a handle.
Part 2 will be next Friday, and we will learn how to
line the bag in a super simple way.
You will love this Little Chunky Bag, I know I do.
The Bag is a fun Shoulder Bag that measure about
8 X 8 inches, not including the handle. It's the perfect
size for your phone, wallet and few other things.
Just what you need when a large purse or bag
is not needed.

and mark with a pen.
And 2 inch around the sides, and the bottom of the back.
Cut the fabric.
2. Move The bag, lay the Fabric Wrong side out and pin.
Measure up 1 inch and Cut off the corner off the2 bottom corners.
Thread The needle with the thread and Measure in about 1 inch.
Starting at the left top, sew down side and bottom
and up the other side of the bag.
Fold the 2 bottom corners and sew them.
3. Fold the top of the liner twice and pin in place.
