linen tube


Hi ,
I finished the front of the bag and after my holiday party is over and my Christmas gifts are in the mail, I will move on to the lining.
This pattern does not call for reinforcing the handle but I am thinking about how I could. Are people finding that a simple crochet or knit handle is strong enough to support the weight of a full bag? I tend to fill my purse to the max.

Happy Holidays

Jenny

your fabric looks beautiful! Have you considered reinforcing the handle with plastic needlepoint canvas?

Yes,
The body is reinforced with needlepoint plastic so I was thinking about trying that or even a wooden chopstick . I guess I will have to get to the handle portion to visualize the construction.
