I decided it was time to make another Mini One Handle Tote. I am sort of feeling at loose ends, despite all the projects on which I could make progress. This is a fast project, which is very satisfying to make.<\/p>\n

I am behind in my efforts to make 20 or so of these by my own timetable. I haven’t wanted to work on them because I couldn’t find the template last time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nobody is harassing me to get these finished, BTW.<\/p>\n

I went looking for my folder and have once again hidden it from myself. < insert eye roll emoji here ><\/p>\n

WTH? Every time I go to make one I have lost the file. This is really unlike me. I was thinking that it was a good thing I wrote the tutorial<\/a>, because otherwise I would have to figure out the whole process over again.<\/p>\n

After making a new template and making this latest bag, I cleaned up my cutting table. In the process, I found the two other templates I have made.<\/p>\n

Note the difference. The fat template is the first one that I made and the tote handle<\/a> turned out slimmer. Not skinny, but slimmer. I couldn’t figure out why the handles were so fat in the two latest bags. Now I know. I had been thinking I would move the template more towards the middle to mitigate the fatness of the handle. Now I don’t need to, thought I might try it with the original template just to see the difference.<\/p>\n

I got it in my mind that I used an index card to make the template, which is why the two templates on the left are mostly the same. I clearly didn’t use an index card for the original template.<\/p>\n

In this version, I used Decor Bond, which I don’t think I will do again. I had a hard time pressing out the wrinkles. I’ll have to look back and see which interfacing I like best.<\/p>\n

Now I have made a project file so the templates, at least, are stored in my normal manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
