Oooh, get you, little miss needlework! Very snazzy! Well done you {hug}

Can I ask a cheeky question? +f+ Are the handles strong where they join? I ask as I am looking at crocheting a bag (lined, hahaha) and am concerned that the handles would come away where I see them on.

Helen they are sewn twice once before you turn it all inside out, right way round {rofwl} and then sewn again all the way around {rofwl}

Very nice bags, nice colours. Would be good for carrying library books or gym kit. Two rows of stitching should be enough to keep the handles secure. You could make a X on them with the machine as well if you are not sure. Or you could find four buttons which match the fabric and hand sew them on.

Thank you Ilona, I like the idea of buttons, I have hundreds, but I like looking at them >dum< I guess now I can make one the next one can be a little fancier
