Thank you, yes, I do think my colorful bags are nicer happier bags. At least it brings a smile on my face everytime I sew them. Can't show them all to you, coz it almost looks the same.

Thank you, glad I gave you an inspiration to make some nice bags and make use of your scraps!!!!

Well done, love Chris

Thank you, I only undid the side seams and yes, spread it out to sew the strips on top of the bag, I then just folded the top fabrics after cutting off the handle, (lazy and crazy),
hope no sewing police reading this .-) Love, Mary
