Did I miss you doing the little ties on the side for that version of the tote?
HI Gwenna. The ties were referred to at the end of the segment. Patterns are available at our online store if you’d like exact dimensions for length. They are made similar to the handles, although longer and thinner. They are then folded in half and laid on the side of your bag. You can machine sew them in place where desired and then tie.
‬ I would like directions on the side ties please. I bought the book and have made bag C. It was so easy and fun I have several more in the works but I’d really like to be able to add the side ties. I didn’t see directions in the book to do this.
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your patience, here is the experts response.
Hi,
Here is a link to where you can get the pattern for that bag- which should provide you with those instructions:
