1. 

   

   a. external fabric
   b. lining
   c. interfacing heavyweight
   d. bias tape (2x)
   e. bias tape

2. 

   

   Draw a circle on your fabrics! You can use a BIG salad bowl for that. I didn’t add seam allowance, so my bags got smaller than the bowl. You should add seam allowances ;)

3. 

   

   Sew wrong sides of interfacing and external fabric together!
   Repeat this step, so you have two double layer sandwiches….

4. 

   

   Sew your sandwiches together – right sides of external fabrics facing! Now you have a 4 layer sandwich!

5. 

   

   Next you have to sew the lining onto your sandwich -> wrong side of lining facing the interfacing! The top of your layers is now the right side of your lining!

6. 

   

   Now you have to decide where and how large the „handle hole“ should be! Cut it and clip it a few times!!

7. 

   

   The next step is not necessary, because you will not see it on the outside. It just makes a nice look on the inside! You have to measure the outline of your bag and cut a piece of bias tape in the length of your circle! The width of the bias tape i have used on my bag is about 4 cm.

8. 

   

   Now turn the bag trough the hole!

9. 

   

   Now fold the clipped seam of the hole inside, pin and sew it! It doesn’t matter when the seam gets “uneven”, because you can use bias tape to cover it!
   
   Tadaaaaaaaa!

What a good idea, i love it, maybe one little thing when you made the hole a bit smaller, maybe a half circle, you can put more stuf in your bag like this(____)
