Reviewing my crafters for more jean bag ideas. I forgot how clear yet detailed your instructions are! I have so much stuff because locals in our small retirement town keep giving me things, I need to make fast bags! I made wine bottle bags similar to this pattern! But the sewing directions complicated with the lining. I somehow sewed the lining and outside sort of sideways tother on one. I like this method to sew the other side of handle.
