This is probably a really odd question, but for you ladies who make the pretty totes/purses with the double handles, is there any reason I can't make a single handle, side seam to side seam, instead of the double handle bags? I really like the longer shoulder strap but most of the patterns have the shorter double handles. I'm looking at the charm totes from Jenny Doan but would prefer a different strap.
Thanks in advance.

No harm in giving it a try...would you place your strap at each end OR one end on front and one end on back OR on a ring place between front and back? Hum lots of choices. Will be watch for a photo why you have finished your tote. ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)

My only thought is about the size of the opening of the purse .... would it open wide enough for putting things in and getting things out of the purse easily. I am anxious to see how it turns out. You may have a new method here!

You need some sort of closure, a zipper, snap, flap etc, otherwise the bag may gape open. other than that, no problem. You can make the bag & just pin the handles on & see how it does.
