The bag pattern piece is meant to be cut on the fold, but my remnant was so narrow I had to make a "center seam". No big deal. The other big challenge was the state of the fabric along the existing seams: in several places, holes had worn in the fabric. After unpicking the seams to take advantage of every quarter-inch I could salvage, and after creative placement of the pattern piece along the remnant, I still had two holes I couldn't get around -- so I patched them up, one with a teardrop-shaped applique patch of the same barkcloth.
Anyway, this was a nice, simple sew that resulted in a roomy, stylish bag. It's even big enough to carry my flute and piccolo and music and all the kitchen sink stuff that flutists tend to carry! Love love!

I love the bag. It looks like it could hold a lot of stuff. That's the kind of bag I need!
