Hallo😀 Eine tolle Anleitung,wenn auch ,ich nicht alles richtig sehen konnte.

What are the cutting dimensions for the bag?

[@frecklefacedfabrichead9959]

The dropcloth is 48 inches wide before cutting off the rolled edges. I cut 24 inches of the length and then trim off the rolled edges. So it ends up being 24 x 47 when all the edges are removed. Then I cut two 3” x 24” handles from the 47” width. Which ends up being 41 x 24 for the main panel. The first and last cuts of the dropcloth will end up being about 23” because you have to remove the rolled edges on the ends. If I were doing to use 44” fabric, I’d cut the main panel at 24” x 44” and then sub-cut 6” for the handles. Making the main panel at 38x24 and a bag that was less deep.

I bet the canvas will take dye real well.

[@frecklefacedfabrichead9959]

@@roshandachark7820 I haven’t tried it yet but what a great idea.

If the canvas is 100% cotton you can sublimate on it.
