Make your own grocery bag

Step 12 Finish off the handles

This is the cool part: Sew from pin to pin across the center seam along the existing top-stitched line. If you quilt, think of it as stitch-in-the-ditch. If you don't quilt, I'm sure you're still a nice person. You are making *cloth* grocery bags, after all. Now you've got a handle that's easy to carry and the raw edge of your handles are secured inside the fold.
