Bag Construction

I'm still making two bags at a time and it seems to be a very long winded process.. However it's a pattern I like very much that has seemed quite quick and easy in the past. One thing I like which I often transfer to other patterns is the cutting out of a square from the bottom sides, then joining the side and bottom seams (I cover them which is one reason why the bagmaking is taking more time) and then lining up the bottom and side seams and flattening the opening and sewing across so avoiding that bulky triangle at the base of a bag.
