    I am just enthralled with this pattern. You made yours look so beautiful with those colors of batik. Please give the link to the tute. I bet this is even much lighter weight to carry than the corded method. My atriritic body made me think of that... LOL.

    I too am very sorry to hear of your lay off. Bless your heart. I hope that you can find something soon.

    You have a great eye for color and design. Love the button.

    Yup...that's the correct utube tut. Sorry, I was at my knitting class tonite. She only shows the technique of sewing the strips. I made my strips 2 1/2" and the batting strips 2". I found it better when folded. I tried the clothesline and didn't like the end result. If you google batik bag pattern, you will come up with multiple sites. There is a pattern for the bag, but I couldn't wait. I found batiks work better. You have to pull the strip taught when attaching to the previous row. Regular cotton fabric is not as stiff as batiks and you really have to work at it. I will post the black and white bag tomorrow after I attach the handles and buttons. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I've been down all week and hearing your praises makes me feel good.

    Your bag is beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial link and your comments about cutting the batting small than the fabric. tfs
