The intersection of the bottom and the side panels has a binding. This is a challenging method of finishing a bag. <a href=\"https:\/\/sewsweetness.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara<\/a>&nbsp; doesn&#8217;t use it very often. When she does, I know there was no other way. The video shows Sara easily sewing the binding by machine. I took the coward&#8217;s way out and sewed it by hand. The part by the zipper was really hard. Zipper tape is no joke to sew through.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59344\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230526_163852_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59344\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230526_163852_wm-sm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Enigma inside pocket - detail\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230526_163852_wm-sm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230526_163852_wm-sm-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230526_163852_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enigma inside pocket &#8211; detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I have only a step or two left to do and I hope to finish today so I can still post it on the sew-a-long and possibly win a prize.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I will sew the inside pocket.<\/p>\n<p>I used the video more for this bag than other bags.
