What on earth is a humbug bag ? Sounds sticky. From the looks of the bag in the link anne posted, a Humbug Bag is one that you sew together in a "normal" manner -- down one side, across the bottom, up the other side. What makes it different is that, at the top, you "fold" the side seams together and that the point where they are sew together is the center point of your top closure. I made some once as quickie little makeup bags and they are "quirky" but cute.

It was a lot of fun trying to get a zipper in that top because the bags I saw had snaps or button & loop. I finally used contrast zippers and just top stitched them to the outside of the bag! It was still a P.I.T.A. until I thought to leave the bottom open until I had the sipper on and then I just turned the bag inside out and finished it. I also don't like the little handle at the bottom and put it at the top. Cheryl, you sew well enough that you probably don't really need a pattern now that you have seen the paper bag. If you do still need directions, let me know and I will send you something.

Visit my Photo albums at http://community.webshots.com/user/tiamary I just looked through the tutorials. These are very cute. I happen to be stitching a fob that is put together the same way (no zipper, however). I just wanted to remind folks that zippers by the yard are available! With this form of zipper, one is able to cut off the length of zipper desired (say, after sewing it in) and not waste the tail of the zipper. My local Beverly's has carried them; I was there today, but wasn't in the market for more, so didn't look. They're not expensive, but be sure to get enough pulls on the length you purchase. I've also seen it where the pulls are sold separately. This is a bit more of a pain as the pulls then have to be put on. Hope this helps - these bags seem to have lots of creative potential.
