ornamental tape/ribbons on the other.
The easiest bag to sew, with no square inch wasted (for print on linen-cotton): Cut the 3 differently patterned parts: 1. The part with the stamp design 2. The part with the tape/ribbon design 3. The part with the white dots (snow flakes) Sew part 1 and 2 together with right sides facing - leave top open. Turn inside out. Fold top edge in and sew along edges. Serge right, left and bottom seams or apply zig-zag stitch. Fold part 3 in half vertically and cut into two pieces, or cut in two pieces with desired shorter length. Fold each piece together with right sides facing and sew all around. Turn inside out and sew each handle to the inside of the bag at the top. Done!
