    At first I sewed the ends (of a tube) and left the center open then went back and hand stitched it closed - that was a pain in my finger LOL. The last one I did made the tube a little wider. I only had double stick tape so when I cut the cording for the handles that is what I had to use to keep it from fraying. Double stick tape does not glide through fabric very well. So I cut off a little piece of a plastic shopping bag and stuck it over the top of the cording and tape. Then I pushed and pulled it through the tube. I like the results much better than the previous way. The cording I used is about an 1inch in diameter. I cut the strip to cover it about 2 3/4 inches this gave it enough wiggle room but not too much.

    Great! :D. I love the simplicity of color which works very well. The bow really makes it special and fashionable.

    Great colors! The little dots repeat themselves in both prints.
