This is a canvas tool bag with leather tags and tether grommets. I installed a rope in the hem to make the bag opening more user friendly. It is made with 15 oz. cotton canvas.

I sew this bag predominately on a Juki 1508 unison feed Industrial Sewing Machine. amzn.to/2svzs0K

youtu.be/_5tzMyyb650?t=1m40s Here is where I mark lines on the handle halves. It takes two halves to make one handle.

youtu.be/_5tzMyyb650?t=1m52s This is how I iron the hem lines into the handle half prior to assembly.

youtu.be/_5tzMyyb650?t=2m7s Now just put two of the ironed handle halves together each hiding the raw edges of the other and sew them together.

Here is a cut list that you can download.
