Duration: 7:57

If you enjoy sewing purses or bags and want an easy shortcut – Ellen March has a quick tip for you. If you purchase a pre-made handle in store, you can avoid sewing it out of fabric.

    Thanks. That was a lot of good ideas for handles. The handles can make or break the over-all design of a bag.
