Handles for totes/purses
This is probably a really odd question, but for you ladies who make the pretty totes/purses with the double handles, is there any reason I can't make a single handle, side seam to side seam, instead of the double handle bags? I really like the longer shoulder strap but most of the patterns have the shorter double handles. I'm looking at the charm totes from Jenny Doan but would prefer a different strap.
Thanks in advance.

No harm in giving it a try...would you place your strap at each end OR one end on front and one end on back OR on a ring place between front and back? Hum lots of choices. Will be watch for a photo why you have finished your tote.

My only thought is about the size of the opening of the purse .... would it open wide enough for putting things in and getting things out of the purse easily. I am anxious to see how it turns out. You may have a new method here!

You need some sort of closure, a zipper, snap, flap etc, otherwise the bag may gape open. other than that, no problem. You can make the bag & just pin the handles on & see how it does.
