Tote bag prep work

I now have all the tote bags that my friend and I worked on a few months ago all prepped and ready for the final assembly. I got the raw edges at the top where the handles attach, pressed down 2" and then folded and pressed it to be 1" wide. Next I put a mark where the handles go when I stitch the handles on.

Here are all the bodies and handles waiting at the sewing machine for assembly. I think there are twenty.
