Peaks & Points Bag
Price: $12.00
All Peaks and Points Bags have flat square bottoms and unique handles, structured for comfort and style. Bag 1 uses easy half-square triangles and Bag 2 is made using the enclosed full-size templates. Bags 1 and 2 are shown with zippers. Don’t let zippers scare you. Take it step by step and you will create a wonderful secure zippered bag in no time. However, all bags can be made with the closure for Bag 3.
