I made 2 Layena bag ones yesterday. I found an easy way to keep the folded sides under when you are sewing the handles. I used paper clips~ since pins would make little holes in the plastic bag. You could probably use masking tape too but the paper clips were really easy to pull off as I sewed. Arrg I hate my maching lol. I also found that if you do all your cutting on the bag (cutting the top part off for the handles) before you start sewing it is easier because you don't have such a big bag to cram through the machine (mine doesn't have a long arm like quilting machines do even though that's mostly what I use it for lol ). I noticed our new catfood bag is made out of the same material so I washed that out to make a shopping bag from that. I am sending them to my mom and grandmother..they will really like them.
