Sewing School Bags

I started sewing school bags for them on Wednesday and optimistically thought I might be able to finish their bags that day. But I didn’t. It took me until Sunday to get them finished.

Gently work the seam to the center of the belting width, and press seam open. The world's best sewing tutorials in no particular order.
