I did get it sewed closed the tape still didn't close like it was suppose to but now I have 2 pieces of the tape in it.
I know that it doesn't look to nice when you have your edges showing but I may go back to the way I had it without the lining. Oh I don't know what to do.
Here is the link that I got my pattern from:
tatteredgarden.snappybag.com
Hope someone here can help me figure out what I am doing right/wrong. I really would like to make these for gifts this year.

My seams are exposed, i did a satin stitch to cover them.
why would someone point that out to you?
i think it is very cute and you did a good job!
i also used fusable fleece inside, and i just didn't go all the way to the ends with it..so it wasn't too thick where i was to sew it up. it has a lining..

I have made some of the small bags and I agree with watterstide about finishing the seams with overlock or such to avoid the bulk at the top.
LOVE the fabric you used watterstide for your bag also the loop is a great feature.

1) The first one I did right.
2) The second one I wanted to keep it the way it was and added lining. I had the outer fabric, batting and the back fabric(or lining) but free motioned so I thought that I still needed to add another piece of fabric to have a lining so that the seams then wouldn't show.
3). Now do you think I will still have this prolem if I try to put the vinyl plastic (clear plastic)in it?

took me a while to find the pictures i took of it..
no quilting of the fabric at all. no need to. i think it is either the small or medium sized one. haven't made the large one yet.
i have never worked with the clear plastic in a project..but you let me know how that goes will ya?! lol

Thank you for posting your pictures. About how wide is the band at the top of your bags? Yours look quick and easy to. Well they all are. Like I said before on here I think. Things that are so easy to make I seem to have or make things more complicated for myself and takes forever to make.
