At first glance, it looks like magic. A sturdy, professional-looking bag with a neat rolled hem, a functional strap, and a clean finish—all cut and sewn in a single continuous line. No turning inside out. No pressing. No traditional sewing machine required.

Suddenly, the bottom fold becomes the flat floor of the bag. The side seams run perfectly up the middle of the sides. The raw edges are completely enclosed inside the seam allowance.

On the (opposite the fold), you need to leave a gap for your hand. Measure 3" in from the left raw edge and make a tiny clip. Measure 3" in from the right raw edge and make a clip. The space between these clips is your handle.

Before you touch your scissors, understand the geometry.
