I am going to add a little piecing to the exterior. The pattern, which I have said is basic at best, talks briefly about &#8217;embellishing&#8217; the outside, but doesn&#8217;t give specifics. Since I have two Sew Together Bags of my own, I measured the outside of one of them and have an idea of where to place the added piecing. It will look something like the above example.<\/p>\n<p>I read some of my posts again and found that this is a hard project.
