How to sew a Tie Handle Bag by Debbie Shore

This is quite a soft, relaxed simple to make bag which is quite a large size! I’ve fastened with a flap and magnetic snap, and the tie strap can be adjusted to suit. I’ve used Lady McElroy Amelia Malone-Watermelon Peachskin with plain black lining from http://www.debbieshoresewing.com. As the fabric is quite fine, I’ve interfaced it with Vlieseline G700.
