Important note: please remember, that the handle will stretch out because of the weight of
the bag. So adjust the length of the handle up to your preference. Draw the ends of the handle
through the loops at the sides and sew it. You could adjust the length of the handle by sewing
the buttons in different distance.
Sew the hanging buttons on the sides. Neaten free threads. And your new bag is finished.
Congratulation! :-)
