Ohhhhh.......sewing them that way would explain why on the diagram the handle is upside down. Ok, now I have to think this out.
Could I do the above, but attached to the lining? My thought is that it wouldn't make a difference as the lining/front and the lining/back will get sewn together so why does it matter.........OR does it?
I'm trying to avoid having the stitching show on the front/back of the tote.
Thanks much!
