RE: Making Tote Bag Handles
When I make handles, I fold the outer edge in to the center on both sides (the raw edges then meet). This is done down the lenth of the handle. Then the whole thing is folded in half, and stitched --close to the edge. Now all the raw edges are hidden, and you have a nice sturdy handle to sew onto your bag that is already right side out!

RE: Online Banking Advice
When I receive my email informing me my new bill is ready to view and pay, I save that email in a mail folder named "bills due". Once I pay it, I put it into a "bills paid" folder which then gets deleted when the new bill for that company comes in. Also, my confirmation numbers to the paid transaction simply get recorded right under the entry in my checkbook.

RE: Pattern for Square Velour Bags
If you want a 9x9 inch bag, cut your velour to 10 inch width and 10 inch height. Fold your material so that the bottom of the bag requires no seam (and refold as necessary for the remaining bags). You only now need to cut it out on 3 sides, the bottom is on the fold.

Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew the side seams of the bag (right sides together ) leaving 1 inch unsewn (open) at the top. Turn down the unsewn top edges on both the front and back sides (by 1/2 inch) and sew this in place with stitching near the raw edge (this makes a casing for your drawstring).

Turn the bag right side out. Thread a pretty ribbon or cord through the top edge casing you made earlier by inserting one ribbon through left to right on the back side and back to the left through the front side.Knot ends together on left side leaving 2-3 inches of extra ribbon. Do the same thing again starting on the right side. You have now inserted two separate ribbons that when pulled at the same time will cause the bag to close nicely.

And you are done!! What a nice keepsake idea you had. Hope this helps you do what you wanted.
