toting along

I decided to add sides to the Special Effects bag. Originally the pattern just has the front and back panels whip-stitched together, and the handle crossing the seams. I am adding sides as wide as I want the handle, and the handle will just be a continuation of the sides. I will also finish the edge of the opening so that it has a thick edge that is sturdy enough for a lining. I'll give the directions for the changes when I am finished. I am starting the third side now, so it should be finished tomorrow or Wednesday unless I don't have time for it.
