Step 4Handles
Ribbon handle: Sew the 40" strip (that you cut from lining) to the ribbon (wrong side) that you've cut the same length, turning under the raw edges of the facing. I didn't even press, just turned under the edges as I sewed.
No ribbon: Take the 40" strip and fold in half wrong sides together. Turn under each raw edge 1/4" each and stitch near edge. Stitch near the edge of the folded side as well. Alternately, you could fold, right sides together and stitch in a 1/4" seam making a tube that would have to be turned to the right side.
Cut the length in half making 2 handles.
For a more comfortable handle, measure 6" from each raw edge and mark with a pin. Fold the handle in half between the pins and stitch close to the edge.
Determine the center of the bag and position handle right sides facing to the top of the bag Measure 3" from center each way, placing the handles 6" apart. Stitch.
