Bag Description: I call this 101 Bag because there are endless versions you could make out of this one bag. It comes off the machine in one piece with sides, handle, and pockets all done.

You just have to sew the side handle and weave in ends. Elongated oval shaped bottom. Pleated sides, if desired. The bag felts into an upright rectangle shape (or square if you make it lower), and looks like a cute seamless beauty. Endless variations possible.

Once you made the circular bottom you can easily adapt all your ideas to the body of the bag without much effort. No worry about where the sides end and strap starts. You can decorate it with beads, buttons, buckles or embroidery, make it double tall, have long or short straps, back pack straps. It's obvious there's 101 endless variations possible!
