Step 7Sewing the handles...
First I'll tell you that I tried sewing down both sides of the handle and then tried to turn it right side out like you would if you were sewing a tube out of fabric...but it was a BIG hassle...it took me forever to turn it, so I don't recommend it.
A. Layer the pieces of handle and batting as such:
Bottom layer is your piece with the pretty stuff printed on it...place this right side up.
Middle layer is one of the two pieces you cut that was just white...place this wrong side up.
Top layer is the batting.
Use binder clips to hold this together.
Repeat for other handle.
B. Sew about 1/4" seam allowance on one side only.
Repeat on the other handle.
C. Open up your seam as in the example on the left side of the picture.
Take the cut edge of the plastic and fold it over the batting so that from the first seam to the fold is about one inch or so. (that is your handle width)
Clamp with binder clips.
Repeat with the other handle.
D. Sew down over the fold as in the example on the left.
Repeat with the other handle.
E. Now fold over the other side of the handle, enclosing the batting. Fold this cut edge to the inside and line it up with the fold that you sewed in step D.
Sew down through both folds just less than 1/4 inch.
Repeat with the other handle.
F. I found the center of the 'design' on the handles and folded the handle in half and placed it on the ruler so I could cut both handles the same length. You can see here it is about 9", and since under the ruler it's folded over it is actually almost 18" long.
