I was originally going to make a long handle for this bag, changed my mind, so I had 4 of the “Winter Bag_07” handles left over, so I thought why not use the panels for the pockets on the inside of the lining. I satin stitched each of the panels together then over the top of the satin stitch I stitched a feather stitch
