Reply To: A suggestion for "directional" fabric – sidefold bags.

[butterfly bags]

I make most of my bags with a side fold. I got into the habit of it because I use a lot of children’s fabric that does have a “right way” up.
I pin my handles the same distance for the edge on both sides. To make them even, when I do my final seams, I sew up the folded side with a good seam allowance. (Not sure that makes sense when I right it down but it works for me!)
I love the way we all have our only little ways, shortcuts and tips and all end up making such fabulous bags!
