Now I have a dilemma. I do not like raw seam edges inside the bag. Some patterns that I looked at had the sewist zig-zag the raw edge after sewing and then left them raw. I've been using what I *think* is called a French seam. You sew the edges together with the wrong sides (or linings) of the fabrics together, turn inside out and then sew the seam a second time with the right sides together. The raw edge is encased inside the second seam. This makes for some pretty large bulk right there where that double seam is- and there's a layer of Warm & Natural on each side of the seam as well as the fabric layers.
Tell me- would zig-zagged raw seam edges inside the handbag offend you or should I continue as above and have a finished edge with a lump?
