I got so frustrated yesterday with trying to put up over 30 pics, 5 at a time, and dealing with the white space that grew between pics & text whenever I did another upload of pics. I said nuts to the whole deal & made my tutorial on a webpage. Please excuse some of the big pics on the webpage as they were created to go on a blog page with a link to bigger image. Ahhhh well. I will fix those big pics when I get the chance. FIXED -- Sunday Nov. 30.
Here's the Christmas Shopping Bag, complete with tutorial & Paper Piecing templates.
I figured out how to make a "French Seam Squared Bottom" Step 30 in the tute.
If you spot any errors in the tute, please let me know anotherpat@gmail.com and I will correct them.
And, if you make one of these bags, I'd sure like to see a pic!
Don't know if I'll be posting anymore before Thanksgiving, so I'd like to send wishes to y'all for a good Thanksgiving Day. And I hereby decree that all food eaten on Thanksgiving Day is calorie-free! Now, wouldn't that be something to be thankful for!

What a beautiful bag!
The tutorial looks great...lots of good photos. I also like the French seam for the bag bottom.
I won't have time to make one this year, so please remember to give us a link back to this post next July!
Sunnie thank you for that hint. I am going to put a reminder on my calendar (that pops up when I boot up) for July '09. But actually, the bag can probably be made in 3 afternoons -- after all supplies are in sewing room.
A plain fabric shopping bag can be made in an afternoon. That's if you don't have to cook dinner! LOL
I love this bag! I bet you get all kinds of comments when you're at the checkout! I will bookmark it and make some after Christmas as I am busy sewing my Christmas gifts now!
