The Reversible Adjustable Bag

Craft Passion
had a nice looking tote bag on their blog the other day. I like the curve style on the top. Well the blog is pretty much an attempt to translate from some kind of Asian language into English. Not the best when trying to follow directions. 

"Make a snip on the seam allowance 1″ below seam (b). Remark: I reserved 1″ seam allowance for (b), but I trimmed it to about 1/2″ later.
Fold in the side seam and press. Top stitch near side edges (a).
Slot in square ring either on tote side of lining side, with right side facing, sew alone seam (b)."    I don't have a clue what she's talking about but I'm pretty smart, haha... I mean it's a bag not an evening gown.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

I don't have square rings, but these D rings ought to do fine.

 To use up the scraps I think I'll make the inside pocket shaped like the curve at the top...YAY! no more scraps.

The original tutorial makes a big deal out of making these ring tabs match the reversibility of the bag. I'm just not that picky!

But here's a reversible ring tab. Oh Boy...whatever.

And a finished bag. Took about an hour, not too bad. I like the strap tie idea best.
Drafting the pattern from the tutorial's drawing is not a good thing. It's pretty obvious that the tutorial's strap is a lot longer than  the 40" it says on the PDF page.  But it's a pretty good idea anyways and I got rid of the last of that print fabric!

 I better stop putting it off and get the SFO work done now. .
